Compact 120-fps Super Hi-Vision (8K) Camera with 35mm PL Mount Lens

NHK has been researching and developing Super Hi-Vision, the 8K version of UHDTV, for future broadcasting. Last year we developed a CMOS image sensor with 120 fps, 33 megapixels, and a 12-bit ADC in conformance to the highest resolution and frame frequency specified in Recommendation ITU-R BT.2020. We also developed a 120-fps three-chip color camera equipped with this image sensor. — We recently developed a 120-fps 33-megapixel single-chip color CMOS image sensor and a compact 8K camera head equipped with this image sensor. As the width, height, and depth are 125-, 125-, and 150- mm respectively and it weighs only 2 kg, it was significantly smaller and lighter than conventional 8K cameras. The optical size of the image sensor is 25 mm and the camera head is compatible with super 35-mm PL mount lenses for various cameras for digital cinema.
