World's First 133-mega-pixel 8K Image Sensor Developed: Capable of shooting full-resolution 8K video by a single sensor

摘要

NHK has been conducting research and development on practical, high-image-quality 8K Super Hi-Vision (8K) cameras that will enable a rich variety of program productions. Our recent progress involves the development of the world's first 133-mega-pixel image sensor designed for full-resolution -8K video single-chip color camera systems. Full-resolution 8K video requires a 33-million-pixel signal for each color (red, blue, and green). Our previous 8K camera employed a three-chip system that used one 33-million-pixel image sensor for each color to shoot full-resolution 8K video. It also used a prism to separate light into three colors, and this made it difficult to reduce the size of the camera.
