 HDMI CMOS Camera Chip from Fujitsu : Fujitsu Limited today announced that from August 1 it will begin sales of two new models, MB91683 and MB91686, in its Milbeaut line of advanced image processing large-scale integrated circuit (LSI) chips for digital cameras. MB91683 and MB91686 are part of the new fourth-generation line (M-4) of Fujitsu's Milbeaut chips, which feature highest specifications for low power consumption and high-resolution imaging technology. The MB91683 provides features in a single chip numerous functions that are ideal for compact digital cameras, while the MB91686 in addition features video functionality. The Milbeaut line of image-processing chips integrate various functions necessary for image processing.

 Fujitsu CMOS Sensor - Anti Shake
The new MB91683 chip is particularly ideal for compact, slim, and lightweight digital cameras, as it provides basic functionalities required on a single chip. Functions which in the past required peripherals devices - such as audio processing, calendar features, anti-shake with high-sensitivity photography, are now featured on the chip. Integrating these functions into a single chip enables the design of smaller, lighter, and slimmer cameras featuring high-resolution imaging.
Fujitsu MB91686 CMOS Camera Chip - Video recording
MB91686 is based on the MB91683 model and offers additional features for video recording and playback and CD-quality audio processing. Both chip models are manufactured at Fujitsu's leading-edge advance semiconductor fab in Mie, Japan using 300-mm wafers and 90 nanometer (nm) process technology, resulting in industry-leading levels of power saving. The new chips were developed in collaboration with Fujitsu VLSI Limited, Fujitsu Micro Solutions Limited, and Fujitsu Laboratories Limited.
Fujitsu CMOS Sensor - NAND flash memory
Peripherals functions now embedded in single chip; enables smaller camera size and lowers overall cost (for both MB91683 and MB91686) Built-in calendar function, voice recording and playback amplifier and codec Programs stored on NAND flash memory can boot system, eliminating the need for external memory to program
HDMI CMOS Camera Chip - Distortion
World's first: Built-in high-sensitivity photography and anti-shake image processing functions (for both MB91683 and MB91686) Increased image sensitivity for a faster shutter and less distortion from shaking is made possible through digital processing New noise-reduction function for high sensitivity photography These new chips are the first in the industry to integrate these functions into a single chip. Fujitsu's new Milbeaut chips enable high-sensitivity photography and high-precision anti-shake functions that are desired for high-resolution compact digital cameras.
MPEG4 digital signal processor - Audio processing
MPEG4 codec is embedded, offering both high-quality imagery and high compression rates. It also enables high-quality video recording and playback at 30 frames per second with video graphics array (VGA) (640 x 480) resolution 16-bit digital signal processor (DSP) built in for audio processing Includes an HDMI interface and REC656 input interface to easily enable connections to a variety of audio/video equipment.
