LSI Thread,
I would like to highlight this part:
''LSI Logic's DCAM-101 will spur the development of the digital still camera market,'' said Michael Lundgren, general manager of Iomega's mobile storage division. ''The close integration of DCAM-101 and Clik! drive technology will let OEMs offer an easy-to-use, high-quality camera at a cost that will attract a large number of consumers to digital photography for everyday use.''
The DCAM-101 is an incredibly powerful single-chip image processing system capable of producing ultra-sharp images with resolutions of up to 4 million pixels. It contains all the major functions needed to capture an image from the CCD and then preview, compress, filter, store, transfer and display it. The DCAM-101 enables a camera user to take still pictures at a rate forty times faster than current digital cameras, making sequential action shots possible for the first time. The device captures, compresses and stores 3.3 million pixels per second, (24bits/pixel, 4:2:2), supporting a maximum pixels resolution of 2K x 2K. This level of performance equates to capturing 11 fully compliant JPEG images per second to the camera's LCD display in preview mode.
The DCAM-101 architecture is highly programmable and is well suited for virtually any consumer digital imaging system such as digital still cameras and multi-function peripherals that combine printing, scanning, fax, and copying capabilities.
