Oki Electric Industry announced its launch of two types of 3D noise reduction, high quality image processing LSIs, the ML87V2107 and ML87V21071, that operate on a 3.3V single power supply. Oki succeeded in integrating its original FIFO (First-In First-Out) memory and image processing circuit into a single chip and significantly reducing CCD camera noise in dim light, something which could not be done before. "By using these ICs, manufacturers of consumer imaging electronics, such as TVs and video recorders, and manufacturers of industrial imaging electronics, such as monitoring cameras and network cameras, can reduce circuit costs, improve function for video equipment and achieve higher resolution," said Masahiko Morioka, President of Silicon Solutions Company at Oki Electric. "Based on this LSI we plan to develop new versions with embedded ADC/DAC to achieve higher functions and be suitable for application in various CCD cameras"
