In general, as pixel miniaturization progresses, the light collection efficiency per pixel deteriorates and sensitivity decreases. ※3: Based on image sensor effective pixel specification method.IMX485 type 1/1.2 (diagonal 12.86mm) 8.42Meffective pixels ※3 back-illuminated CMOS image sensor IMX415 type 1/2.8 (diagonal 6.43mm) 8.46Meffective pixels ※3 stacked CMOS image sensor ※2: Compared to Sony's IMX334, type 1/1.8, 8.42M effective pixels CMOS image sensor.※1: Among 4K-resolution CMOS image sensors for security camera applications.The expanded sensor lineup makes it possible to obtain high-quality images for various scenes, thereby expanding the range of applications for security cameras. Going forward, significant growth is also expected in demand for cameras for image recognition in anomaly detection and behavioral analysis using AI.Īddressing this need, Sony offers a lineup of compact 4K-resolution CMOS image sensors that deliver superior image recognition and detection performance and excellent low-light performance at the same time-which had been difficult to achieve with conventional technologies. There is an increasing demand for security cameras for use in a variety of places, and with that comes greater demand than ever for compact cameras that can be installed just about anywhere and have a higher level of image recognition and detection performance. ※2 Sony has designed these two new sensors for security cameras for the growing smart city market and to meet the rapidly expanding need for security cameras in a variety of monitoring applications such as anti-theft, disaster alert, and traffic monitoring systems or commercial complexes. Tokyo, Japan - Sony Corporation today announced the upcoming release of two new models of CMOS image sensors: the IMX415 type 1/2.8 4K-resolution stacked CMOS image sensor, which is the smallest of its kind in the world ※1 and the IMX485 type 1/1.2 4K-resolution back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, which delivers outstanding low-light performance approximately 3.3 times that of conventional.
