Nikon has one-inch multilayer CMOS sensor ready for 4K video capture at 1000 fps

Nikon has unveiled an image sensor capable of capturing 4K video at 1000 fps and a dynamic range of 110 dB, the best in the industry. The 1-inch optical format sensor is made using 65nm CMOS technology with a two-layer layout. In the upper layer there is a 17.84 Mp (4224 x 4224 pixels) photosensitive matrix, and in the lower one there is a logic circuit.

The pixel dimensions are 2.7 x 2.7 microns. According to the manufacturer, when shooting at 1000 fps, you can count on a dynamic range of 110 dB. If the frequency is 60 fps, the dynamic range expands to 134 dB.

The back-illuminated matrix is ​​divided into 16 x 16 pixel blocks, each of which is associated with its own control circuit in the lower layer. The ability to independently control the exposure of each block and read data from blocks of 16 x 32 pixels and allowed to obtain a wide dynamic range and high performance.
