Nikon develops 1″-type square CMOS sensor that can capture HDR video at 1,000 fps

Nikon Japan has announced (machine-translated) it’s developed a 17.84-megapixel 1”-type stacked CMOS image sensor that can capture high dynamic range video at up to 1,000 frames per second.

Nikon is known to use Sony sensors in a number of its imaging products, but it also develops its own sensor technology. Case in point is this new 1”-type stacked CMOS sensor, which offers high-speed capture with impressive dynamic range in a square capture format.

The sensor uses 17.84 million 2.7μm pixels (4224×4224 pixels) to capture video at up to 1,000 frames per second with 110dB dynamic range. If dropped to 60fps, the dynamic range jumps to 134dB.

Nikon doesn’t specify what kind of products this sensor is destined for, but based on its square format and hint at its use in ‘industrial fields such as automobiles,’ it’s unlikely we’ll see this in a consumer camera anytime soon.
