Toshiba makes brighter 13-megapixel sensor
It supports 120fps at 1080p and 240fps at 1080i. The interlaced scanning is something Toshiba calls "bright mode" because it can double the amount of time each pixel collects light. Bright mode also doubles the electrical charge of each pixel resulting in a boost to imaged brightness by up to a factor of four.
The sensor also adopts a newly developed low power circuit design that reduces power consumption to 82 percent that of the T4K37, a 13-megapixel sensor in mass production. Toshiba will also provide an interlace-progressive conversion program that enables users to offer high quality progressive video with low image deterioration, without changing the frame rate.
Sample shipments are scheduled to start in March, with mass production to start in 2H14.
