General Description
The OV7910P (color) and OV7410P/OV7411P (black and white) Single-chip CMOS camera devices are designed to provide a high level
of functionality in a single small-footprint package. Both devices support composite video and S-Video. The OV7910P imager also provides RGB and YCrCb video signals, and each device directly
interfaces with a VCR TV monitor or other 75 ohm terminated input.
A minimum of external components are required to complete a fully
functional camera subsystem. The OV7910P/OV7410P/OV7411P
video cameras require only a single 5-volt DC supply and have been
designed for very low power operation. These products are ideal for
all applications requiring a small footprint, low voltage, low power and
low cost color or black and white video camera.

1.1Video Standards
Two TV standards are implemented and available as
output in the OV7910P/OV7410P/OV7411P imaging
devices: PAL (B). Table 2 below shows how to configure the standard of choice. Please note

1.2Video Formats
The OV7910P/OV7410P/OV7411P image sensors
support a variety of formats including Composite
(CVBS), S-Video (YO/CO), RGB components, YUV
components, and B/W. Composite and S-Video signals
are generated from the internal TV encoder and the
RGB/YUV/BW outputs are generated from the color
matrix prior to entering the encoder.

that the accuracy and stability of the crystal clock frequency is important to avoid unwanted color shift in TV/
video systems.
The image sensor utilizes the RG/BG Bayer pattern
sending raw pixel data through the color matrix, creating RGB or YUV component signals. At the same time,
YUV signals are also processed to generate both composite and S-Video signals. (Note: Color format configuration is valid only for the OV7910P image sensor)
1.2.1Composite and S-Video
The Composite/S-Video format is the power-up default
configuration for the OV7910P/OV7410P/OV7411P
image sensors. Pins AMOD0/AMOD1 (pins 38 and 39)
select composite and S-Video formats. In this configuration, RVCVO (pin 17) outputs CVBS, GYYO (pin 16)
outputs
1.2.2RGB
Setting AMOD0 = 1 (w/AMOD1 = x) selects the RGB
format. In this configuration, RVCVO outputs the
1.2.3YUV
Setting AMOD0=0 and AMOD1=1 configures the
OV7910P/OV7410P/OV7411P sensors to operate in
YUV or B/W mode. In this configuration, GYYO outputs
the Y component, RVCVO provides the Cr component,
the YO component of the S-Video signal, and BUCO
(pin 15) outputs the CO component. Table 3 below
summarizes the formats available and the settings
required on the appropriate pins.

and BUCO provides the Blue component.
and BUCO outputs the Cb component. On the
OV7410P image sensor, only the GYYO (Y component) output is valid.

1.3Configuring the OV7910P/OV7410P/OV7411P
Image Sensors for Operation
The OV7910P/OV7410P/OV7411P sensors have been
designed for easy-of-use in many stand-alone applications. Most of the on-chip functions are configurable by
connecting appropriate pins high (logic “1”) or low
(logic “0”) through a 10k Ohm resistor. The image sensor reads the input the pins at power up, which enables
user-defined default configurations.
The OV7910P/OV7410P/OV7411P imaging devices
also contain an I2C interface for programmatic access
sensors will enable the I2C port for access.

disabled. To enable the I2C for controlling the sensors,
a 10K Ohm pull-up resistor must be connected to
FODD/I2CEN. With FODD/I2CEN pulled high at
power-up, the OV7910P/OV7410P/OV7411P image

sensitivity on the primary (RGB) colors to match the
color cast of the light source. The Auto White Balance
(AWB) can be enabled or disabled either through an
external pin (AWBEN, pin 29) or through the I2C port. If
able only through the I2C port. This function enables
the user to define a “cooler” or “warmer” background
for image capture.
By using the I2C port, the color temperature may be
further fine tuned to the requirement of the application.
Note that the “blue” (Blue and Blue bias registers) and
“red” (Red and Red bias registers) bias control is avail-
and Backlight control.
HGAIN (pin 20) may be used to set the range of AGC
Gain. A “0” on HGAIN sets AGC Gain range for 1X <->
4X, while a “1” sets the range for 1X <-> 8X. G2X (pin
19) can then be used to enhance the AGC gain range.
1.5Additional Picture Control
A number of functions/registers are available which
enable the user to configure OV7910P/OV7410P/
OV7411P image capturing parameters. These functions include Automatic Gain Control (AGC), AGC
Gain, Automatic Exposure Control (AEC), GAMMA,
A “0” on G2X sets AGC gain at normal. A “1” enhances
the AGC gain by 2 (Refer to Table1, “Pin Description,”
on page2, pins 19 and 20 for further details). This
function may be configured through the I2C port, as
