Overview This new-generation all-format HD camera is designed to support the 1080I format. By way of providing support for the 1080I format, this model uses newly developed 2/3z CCDs with 2.2 million pixels [1920 (H) x 1080 (V)]. By taking a fresh approach to the on-chip lens, CCD structure and processes, these new CCDs embody dramatically improved sensitivity, smear and dynamic range specifications compared with conventional CCDs, and they achieve a high performance which is on a par with that of SD.
