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.
