matrix revolution ...
A well-known digital equipment manufacturer, Kodak, has presented a revolutionary advancement in the technology of production of filming dies, thanks to which dark, blurred digital images will forever be a thing of the past. The photosensitivity of the Kodak imaging matrix, manufactured using the new technology, is 2–4 times higher (by 1–2 exposure steps) than modern matrices of conventional design. Serving as the "eyes" of digital cameras, camera crews convert light into electric charges, thereby beginning the process of digitally capturing an image.
A new achievement is moving forward with existing Kodak technology, which has become the standard in digital photography. At the moment, most of the imaging matrix is ​​built with the so-called “Bayer structure” defined by the order of red, green and blue pixels, first developed in 1976 by a Kodak scientist Dr. Bryce Bayer. In the new structure, half of the pixels of the matrix are used to capture green light, while the remaining pixels are divided equally into sensitive red and blue. At the end, after shooting, the program restores the full color signal for each pixel of the final image.
The new technology adds “clean” pixels to the red, green, and blue elements that make up the filming matrix structure. Since such pixels are sensitive to absolutely all wavelengths of visible light, they perceive much more light falling on the matrix. The new arrangement of pixels in combination with Kodak software algorithms optimized for new structures, provides users with increased sensitivity, directly, will improve the efficiency of cameras when shooting in low light conditions. The new Kodak technology allows you to use shorter shutter speeds (to reduce blur when shooting moving objects), as well as to develop matrices with smaller pixels (therefore, to increase the resolution with a given optical format).
Kodak is starting to work with a number of leading companies in order to implement a completely new technology throughout the entire system, as well as optimize the design process itself. It is expected that the first Kodak matrix, using a new, advanced technology, will be available for development work in the first quarter of 2008.
