1 Extensively Tested Sensors

Sensors listed in the following table have been used to conduct extensive research and have had their associated PCBs designed, built, populated and tested.

Note: If you require the research and development of a specific sensor to be fast-tracked, then it could be possible to make the necessary changes. Please make contact to discuss requirements.

2 Interesting Sensors

This is a collection of image sensors that would be suitable for digital cinema applications and 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.
