Anamorphic lenses therefore improved image quality by both enhancing vertical resolution and reducing the appearance of grain. What is the resolution for anamorphic? Blu-ray also supports anamorphic wide-screen, both at the DVD-Video/D-1 resolutions of 720×480 (NTSC) and 720×576 (PAL), and … Continue reading →

The modern anamorphic format has an aspect ratio of 2.39:1, meaning the (projected) picture’s width is 2.39 times its height, (this is sometimes approximated to 2.4:1). What aspect ratio is 1.33 anamorphic? 2.39:1That’s where the 1.33x anamorphic lens comes in. … Continue reading →

CCD (charge-coupled device) is a type of image sensor. In effect, it is the “eye” of a camera phone, digital camera, or video camera. It is a device similar to a computer chip, which senses light focused on its surface, … Continue reading →

A CMOS (Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor) active pixel sensor (like the one in your iPhone or iPad) moves down the sensor, capturing pixels one row at a time. Are iPhone cameras CMOS? Kuo claimed that the new iPhone 14 could sport a … Continue reading →

Figure 4: Deep-depletion CCDs are made of thicker silicon so are therefore able to detect NIR wavelengths which travel deeper into the silicon, unlike typical depletion CCDs which generates majority of signal from visible light. What is a CCD made … Continue reading →

CMOS image sensor development at Sony began in 1996 and led to the launch of our first CMOS image sensor (IMX001) in 2000. At the time, CMOS image sensors produced noisy images under low light and were also inferior to … Continue reading →

An anti-aliasing filter looks at the user-specified sampling frequency and removes any under-sampled frequencies that may appear in the signal (i.e. signal component frequencies >0.5 of the sampling frequency). Is anti-aliasing filter important? You should use an anti-aliasing filter to … Continue reading →
