"OmniVision was the first to offer an off-the-shelf image sensor for the disposable medical market," said Elias Daher, research and development engineer for ETView. "OmniVision's solution saved us considerable development time and costs, offering us a strong competitive advantage. The analog OV6920 enabled us to bring to market a product with a user-friendly interface. With an analog video signal to connect the TVT to any existing video monitor, the OV6920 eliminates the requirement for a specialty viewing system and further reduces system costs."

The OV6920 is among the world's smallest available NTSC CMOS image sensors. The sensor's 2.5 X 2.5 micron pixel size enables a tiny camera package with an impressive resolution. ETView's TVT, together with the OV6920, offers doctors the ability to maintain a continuous view during intubation. Furthermore, the TVT camera's 4 mm outer diameter is ideal for medical applications in terms of promoting patient comfort. Once the TVT is placed inside the trachea, it monitors the upper airways in real time and can remain in the patient for up to 14 days.

The OV6920 is an ideal solution for cost-effective applications requiring both excellent color video performance and a very small footprint. The ultra small OV6920 is a single-chip OmniPixel2 camera chip system, which needs only clock and power to get the national television system(s) committee (NTSC) composite signal out for direct interface with a VCR/TV/monitor. The OV6920 is designed for very low power consumption, requiring only a single 3.3-volt DC supply.
