NIT Announces 720p Color WDR Sensor

New Imaging Technologies announced release of its NSC1005 HD Ready sensor operating in 720p mode.

The NSC1005 has 1280x720 pixels of 5.6um size, with microlenses and/or color bayer filters. NSC1005 operates in rolling shutter mode up to a frame rate of 60fps. NIT's Native WDR technology is said to provide an instantaneous DR of more than 140dB, a logarithmic response of the signal. A custom de-bayerisation algorithm is available upon request from NIT in order to operate in the logarithmic response domain.
