Overview
The Foveon Fr17-78.F13 image seneor is a 1.7x FLM high-resolution CMDS
ct image sancor that incorporates breakthrough Foveon 8 Technology
“The latest in Foveon’s large format CMDS image senaora, the device achieves
Significantly longer exposure times broader 1S0 eed capability. and
improved dynamic range over previous generations of X3 sensora Faveon 3
dinect image sensors cepture full measured color images through a unique
Stacked pixel design. By capturing three colar pixelsat each pixel location,
the need for color interpolation and artifact-reducing blur filters is
liminated. As a result, for the 1.7x FLM optical format the: Fxt7-78-F13
senepr delivers the highest resolution poasble without color artifacts The
senor also features the powerful Varicble Pixel Sze (VPS. technology,
sliowing on-chip analog pixel binning for high frame rate video operation.
Using VPS. the high resolution 14 megapixel ensor can be programmed to
runasa*3.0CD' quality video eenenr. producing VGAx3 video at 30fps
