at the New York Hall of Science
October 4, 2008 - January 25, 2009
Organized by Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI)


What are the artists, scientists, and technologists of the twenty-first
century thinking about our current environmental challenges? Can their
artwork imagine new, positive approaches to sustaining life on planet Earth?
Can it inspire us to confront the consequences of our current ways of
living? Through the almost limitless possibilities of digital image
technologies, we invite our competition entrants to examine their
environmental concerns, indulge their fantasies, and then share their
fabricated/montaged visions of how a sustainable future might look, which
might include new types of hybrid forms: plants, animals, humans, cities,
transportation systems, food, etc. Let's boldly envision on behalf of our
planet!

Honolulu, Hawaii and San Jose, California , Tuesday, June 17, 2008 – Aptina Imaging, a division of Micron Technology, Inc., today introduced its latest high performance CMOS image sensor (part number MT9E501) which was designed to accommodate super high definition projects for NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation). A paper on the sensor is being presented at the Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits which is being held June 17-20, 2008. The sensor has the high definition resolution of 4112 (H) x 2168 (V), (8.9 Megapixels)/ 1.25-inch optical format and delivers 60 frames per second, which meets Ultra High Definition Television (UHDTV) standards as defined by SMPTE standard 2036-1. The sensor is being used in NHK's prototype cameras for the 1920 x 1080 HD format and the next generation 7680 (H) x 4320 (V) Super High Vision broadcasting system.

Aptina’s high performance image sensor uses a 16-channel SLVS differential output to speed captured image data for processing, and supports up to 60 FPS frame rate at 4K format of 3840 (H) x 2160 (V) pixels. The image sensor is available in both a mono chrome sensor (Multi-chip 7680 (H) x 4320 (V) Super High Vision format cameras), and a color sensor (Single chip with up to 4K HD class image format).

The MT9E501 sensor was developed in cooperation with NHK which was looking for sensors that could meet its unique specifications on its Super High Vision broadcast video camera prototype. “The MT9E501 sensor leverages those key elements that are setting the path for the next generation of standards addressing high frame rate and high definition in imaging,” says Curtis Stith, High Performance Segment Director at Aptina. “NHK’s prototype broadcast video camera is representative of how advances in our high performance sensors are meeting performance and image quality requirements.”

The MT9E501 extends Aptina’s broad portfolio of high performance CMOS image sensors for the consumer and commercial markets. The customers’ design needs drive their choice of sensors ranging in resolution from VGA to the new 8.9 Megapixel.

XDCAM EX In Depth.

Click link to view invitation: http://www.abelcine.com/invites/

The Sony PMW-EX3 camcorder will be making its East Coast debut at this
workshop. This new model adds more features and greater flexibility to
the already successful EX1 camcorder.

The EX3 adds an interchangeable 1/2" lens system and a handholdable,
ergonomic design to the already impressive specs of the EX1, a 3-chip
1/2" CMOS sensor that records 1920x1080 native resolution HD images
onto SxS PRO flash memory cards.

Learn about the new features of the EX3, and hear firsthand accounts
from filmmakers who have used Sony's revolutionary XDCAM EX format from
production through post.
