Maybe somebody can tell us what it actually says. It seams to imply that some pixels are slanted. the diagram show red and blue slanted but not green?

Looks like:

1/5 inch 16:9 progressive scan CCD (X3)

wide edge F1.8 and the tele edge F1.9 Fujinon lens.

Victor, developing the system for the full HD video camera
- "FUJINON lens" with national welfare camera beginning adoption


The Everio HD model of 3CCD loading which is exhibited in IFA


September 29th announcement

The Nippon Victorcorporation developing the 3CCD camera system of the full HD which for the first time adopts the FUJINON lens as for a consumer. The experimental model of the full HD photographing possible "hi-vision HDD movie" which loads the same system from October 3rd is held with Makuhari メッセ "CEATEC JAPAN 2006" being similar, it refers displays.

Everio HD model mock-up of 3CCD loading. Zoom magnification ratio is not open, but when it presumes from print of the lens, it is thought as optical 10 time zoom

1/5 types of new development, entire pixel 1,016×558 dot (effective 976×548 dot) 16:9 progressive scan CCD 3 uses. Full HD (the 1,920×1,080 dot) it corresponds by the fact that slanted pixel shifting structure is adopted.

With new CCD, MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) and improvement of sensitivity is assured pixel size of former ratio approximately 2 times (3.28×3.28 μ m) with. The input signal after processing, as 1080p converts to 1080i and records.

For the broadcasting station adopting "the FUJINON lens" of the フジノン corporation whose adoption example with the camera is many to the lens. 3 aspherical lenses are utilized, 1 among those has used the high refractive index high refraction 硝 material. Zoom magnification ratio is not open, but you say that in the wide edge F1.8, the falling of F1.9 and F value is held down to smallest even in the tele edge. In addition, for broadcast the same as the lens "NEW EBC (Electronic Beam Coating) coat" is adopted, unnecessary reflection and the flare and the ghost etc. of the lens surface are controlled.

The experimental model which is exhibited in CEATEC builds in the same camera unit, utilizes the superhigh ended processor and high picture quality signal processing engine "Megabrid" of the same company, etc. corresponds to HD record.

Thanks.
