Newly developed CMOS sensors are employed to achieve superb picture quality. CMOS sensors have wide dynamic range and, in principle, no smear. The sensors include significant circuitry within the sensor itself, resulting in a digital video interface between sensor and Ikegami camera DSP, all in a very small device with low power consumption. The CMOS sensor includes native progressive and interlace modes for multi-format HD operation.
End-to-end Digital processing has been realized through the use of 0.18 micro meter design rule 3.3 million gate ASIC / Fully digital stream through the camera to the HD-SDI output assures signal integrity, high picture quality, and stable and reliable operation.
