Cutting-edge imaging System for New Camcorders✜ 1/3 inch-type 3 ClearVid CMOS SensorsystemThe newly developed 1/3-inch type 3 ClearVid CMOSSensor system has 45-degree rotated pixels on eachchip in order to increase the signal density, while eachpixel maintains sufficient surface area.In combination with Enhanced Imaging Processor (EIP),the 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system achieves highresolution, high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, andexcellent color reproduction.The pixel shift interpolation technique has beentraditionally used in small 3CCD camcorders. However,it normally requires the combination of all three colorelement (RGB) signals to maximize resolution. If an objectlacks one or more color elements, theresolution of the object may be degraded.The 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system is different. It canalways produce maximum resolution, regardless of thebalance between color elements, thanks to its uniqueand sophisticated interpolation technology.✜ Enhanced Functionality via theTechnology of “Exmor”Both the HVR-Z7E and HVR-S270E offer cutting-edgefeatures, such as the technology of “Exmor” developedby Sony, which utilizes the full potential of the 3 ClearVidCMOS Sensor system.The technology of “Exmor”, which features thecolumn-parallel A/D conversion technique and the dualnoise cancelling method are also used in other latestcamera products from Sony.Multiple A/D (analog to digital) converters on each pixelrow convert analog signals to digital as soon as they aregenerated, unlike traditional technology that only hasone A/D converter on each chip. The technology of“Exmor” can eliminate the influence of external noise thatenters the signal chain during transfer to the A/Dconverter, resulting in high-quality digital signals withextremely low noise. This significantly enhances shootingin low-light environments.By adopting this groundbreaking technology, the new1/3-inch 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system enables theHVR-Z7E and HVR-S270E to achieve a low light sensitivityof just 1.5 lux*.* at 1/25 shutter, auto iris and auto gain.Current TechnologyPhoto DiodesSensorTechnology of “Exmor”Photo DiodesSensorPixel LayoutNoiseCancellingNoiseCancellingNoiseCancellingA/D ConverterNoiseCancellingA/D ConverterA/D ConverterNoiseCancellingNoiseCancelling1080 Pixels:Noise:NoisePixels (Photo Diodes)Signals after interpolation5
