IMX017CQE

Diagonal 9.10 mm (Type 1/1.8) 6.4M-Effective Pixel High-Speed High-Resolution CMOS Sensor for Consumer Products with Seamless Support for Both Still Image and Moving Image Capture IMX017CQE Sony has now developed the IMX017CQE high-speed/high-resolution CMOS sensor that can output 6.4M-pixel images at 60 frame/s. This sensor can also capture 6.4M-pixel high-resolution still images during moving images capture without interrupting the moving images capture. This allows it to implement seamless imaging in which the user has no need to be aware of the boundary between still and moving imaging. It furthermore supports 300 frame/s ultrahigh-speed imaging, making it possible for consumer cameras to capture moving images without missing any of the decisive moments that were previously impossible to capture. Image sensors have seen continuous progress in total pixel counts and, at the same time, in reduced feature sizes in the pixels. Now, by striving for higher speeds in addition to excellent picture quality, Sony is about to create a whole new market for image sensors. ■ Diagonal 9.10 mm (Type 1/1.8) 6.4M effective pixels (2921H × 2184V) Pixel size: 2.5 µ m unit pixel 12-bit column A/D converter readout Supports 60 frame/s transfer video capture and provides seamless transition between still and moving modes.
