OMNIVISION and ATL Medical have announced that ATL is now using OMNIVISION’s OVMed® OH0131 image signal processor (ISP) in its PREVOYANCE® Complete Imaging System with Chip-on-Tip® technology for arthroscope camera units.
ATL Medical’s PREVOYANCE® is a turnkey “white label” medical visualization assembly built for customers who want high image quality out of the box, with faster time-to-market and lower development cost.
It is typically paired with a full?featured camera control unit (CCU) for imaging, processing, and storage.
The OH0131 ISP is purpose-built for medical imaging and can be easily integrated into handheld tablet consoles or CCUs.
It supports multi-image setups and meets key clinical requirements such as precise color reproduction, advanced noise reduction, and stable image quality across a wide range of lighting conditions.
Working together, OMNIVISION and ATL Medical have created a complete imaging solution built around two main components:
- A kernel board, designed by OMNIVISION, that houses the OH0131 medical?grade ISP. It receives raw image data from the image sensors, processes it, and sends it to the host over a MIPI interface.
- A hostdesigned by ATL that receives the processed images and outputs them to the display via an HDMI port.
ATL Medical adds full system-level integration to the imaging subsystem, including optics, illumination, cabling, interconnects, distal-end fabrication, and an ergonomic handle design.
This end-to-end capability helps OEMs shorten development cycles, lower engineering risk, and deploy imaging systems that can either operate as standalone units or integrate into existing platforms.
The OVMed® OH0131 ISP, first launched in 2023, carries key medical and quality certifications including ISO 13585, RoHS, REACH, IEC 60601 (covering ESD, EMC, EMI, and isolation), and EMS ISO 9001. It supports OMNIVISION’s full line of medical image sensors, from 2 MP down to 200 x 200 resolution, and is compatible with OMNIVISION’s proprietary AntLinx® CMOS chip-on-tip endoscopy imaging technology as well as MIPI interfaces.
Leadership Comments
“The top challenges in medical ISPs center on delivering real-time, high-fidelity visualization while overcoming extreme environmental factors such as specular reflections, smoke, blood and shadows. Key obstacles include maintaining low-latency processing, handling high-volume data, and achieving accurate, automated segmentation and feature extraction during complex procedures,” said Ehsan Ayar, senior staff marketing manager for the medical segment at OMNIVISION.
“We are pleased to collaborate with OMNIVISION and leverage their expertise in advanced image processing for the PREVOYANCE® platform,” said Mike Anderson, vice president strategy, ATL Medical. “We’ve developed an off-the-shelf CCU that can be deployed standalone or be integrated into a customer’s existing platform, simplifying their design cycle while also improving the overall performance of their solution.”
