The next Mediatek-powered phone could have a super camera
MediaTek has announced the arrival of Super-Slow
Motion Technology, a world-first smartphone camera feature that enables
devices to create 480 frames per second (fps) 1080p Full HD videos and
play them back at 1/16 speed.
The technology is featured in MT6595 and MT6795 powered devices,
and hopes to deliver a premium multimedia experience on mobile.
Super-Slow Motion Technology controls several subsystems that work in
concert, beginning with the Sony IMX220, 20.7MP sensor, which is used to
capture the videos.
The captured high fps videos are then passed through MediaTek’s image
processing pipeline, ensuring that each processed frame is of good
quality while displaying the image in what the company calls “excellent
clarity and detail.” Additionally, users may edit their videos while
retaining total control over the duration and location of the Super-Slow
Motion segment on the video timeline. Once a Super-Slow Motion video is
rendered, users can then easily share it with friends and family.
“Advances in technology, such as the 480fps Full HD Super-Slow Motion
camera feature, allow MediaTek to push conventional boundaries and make
premium mobile features accessible to everyone on the planet, aligning
with our Super-mid market strategy of providing rich features at
reasonable prices,” said Jeffrey Ju, General Manager of the MediaTek
Smartphone Business Unit.
