Innovative Technologies Exmor Technology + Ordinary CMOS Sensor + Sensor with Exmor Technology ClearVid Array Technology + Small size sensor Three 1/3" Exmor CMOS Sensors - Before the Codec The three state-of-the-art 1/3" Exmor CMOS sensors with a ClearVid array ensure high resolution, high sensitivity, a wide dynamic range, and excellent color reproduction. The quality of this imaging system has earned an excellent reputation in the industry, and is of course fully realized in the new HXR-NX5U. S Exmor Technology Noise Reduction System Multiple A/D (analog-to-digital) converters on each pixel row convert analog signals to digital as soon as they are generated, unlike traditional technology that only provides one A/D converter on each chip. Exmor technology can eliminate the influence of external noise that enters the signal chain during transfer to the A/D converter, resulting in high-quality digital signals with extremely low noise. This significantly enhances shooting in low-light environments with a sensitivity of just 1.5 lux.* * At 1/30 shutter, auto iris, and auto gain. S High Sensitivity and Resolution with Sophisticated Techniques CMOS sensors equipped with a ClearVid array achieve a bigger sensor pixel size than ordinary image sensors, and this leads to high sensitivity. Furthermore, a unique interpolation technique from Sony utilizes the 45-degree rotated pixels on each chip, increasing resolution. The powerful combination of these two sophisticated techniques explains why Sony picture quality has such an excellent industry reputation. + Sensor with ClearVid Array (simulated image) 7
