What is the max image resolution and framerate that camera ISP can support on Genio 510/700/1200?

Hi there,

I’m seeking the sensor modules for Genio platforms (mainly for Genio 510).

What is the max image resolution and framerate that the camera ISP can support on Genio 510, 700, and 1200?

Same question for the camera ISP output. Can the output reach the same resolution and framerate as the input?

Thanks.

Hello @andrew.hess,

Hope everything is going great!

According to the Genio 510 Datasheet, these are the ISP capabilities:

  • 3 × MIPI CSI-2 high-speed camera serial interfaces:
    •  Up to 4 × data lanes of MIPI D-PHY 2.5 Gbps per lane
    •  Up to 3 × trios of MIPI C-PHY 4.5 Gsps per trio
  • Sensor supported format:
  • RAW8/RAW10/RAW12/RAW14
  • YUV422 8-bit (only dump DRAM)
  • Single camera capture: up to 32MP at 30fps
  • Dual camera capture: up to 16MP + 16MP at 30fps
  • ISP image processing capability: 400MP/sec
  • Video High Dynamic Range (HDR) with stagger HDR sensor: up to 12MP at 30fps

By doing the math, these are some of the resolutions you can capture according to the documentation limits:

Resolution Name Pixel Resolution MP Max Frame Rate* Note
32 MP Still ~7000×4600 32.20 12 fps Spec: Single cam up to 32 MP @ 30 fps (raw dump). Full ISP limited to ~12 fps.
6K 6000×4000 24.00 16 fps Under 32 MP cap. Higher fps possible in raw dump mode.
12 MP 4000×3000 12.00 33 fps Spec: HDR up to 12 MP @ 30 fps. Full ISP can do ~33 fps single-frame.
4K UHD 3840×2160 8.29 48 fps Common video mode. Full ISP supports ~48 fps.
8 MP Video 3280×2464 8.08 49 fps Similar to 4K but taller aspect; sensor-dependent.
1080p (Full HD) 1920×1080 2.07 192 fps Very high fps possible if sensor & MIPI allow.
720p (HD) 1280×720 0.92 434 fps Hundreds of fps possible; limited by sensor/interface.

Besides the resolution, when choosing the camera, you also need to consider driver integration and ISP tuning. When we were on this stage last year with one of our clients, we decided to go with USB camera just because of the time it would have taken doing driver integration and ISP running, given that our client was on a very tight schedule with a 2 month deadline for alpha to be ready.

So, when choosing the camera for your device, please also take into account project timeline and required work for the camera to be ready.
