1 AXIOM Beta

This sensor is used in the AXIOM Beta and all hardware development for associated PCBs is complete:

Note: If you require research and development of a specific sensor to be made compatible with the AXIOM Beta, please make contact to discuss requirements.

2 Other Interesting Sensors

This is a collection of image sensors that might be suitable for digital cinema applications and the potentially the AXIOM. CMOS technology is preferred over CCDs as CCDs require far more complex ADC and interpretation/support logic. Also CCDs typically do not have the performance (FPS) at the resolutions required for digital cinema today.

This list is a work in progress. If you find a sensor that interests you feel free to either update this page or make contact with us accordingly.

Note: A central requirement for apertus° considering an image sensor is that the full datasheet for the sensor can be shared with the community without signing an NDA with the sensor's manufacturer.

2.2.2 Teledyne ev2

https://www.teledyne-e2v.com/products/imaging/

Datasheets are not handed out without signed NDA so this is basically a no-go for us.

2.2.3 Alexima

High speed sensors, website information is very sparse:

2.2.4 Andanta

German image sensor manufacturer (website makes them appear like a smaller - more approachable? - company). Makes high dynamic range sensors (often with large >5um photosites) that are very well suited to cine applications.
