The electronics to support what the company calls a sensor agnostic camera is being urbanized by Martin Snashall, an industry veteran. The Kinetta is a hand detained camera about the size of a 16mm film camera. It uses 16mm PL mount or C mount lenses and supports interchangeable sensors CCD or CMOS designs with a highest pixel count of 16 million. The first camera prototypes will use CMOS sensors from Altasens. These sensors have a picture area of 1936 by 1036 and catch either 1920 by 1080 interlaced or 1280 by 720 progressive images. The raw data from the CMOS sensor will be stored on a removable hard drive array that mounts on the camera in a manner similar to a film magazine. Each electronic storage magazine holds 110 minutes of footage. The power specifications suggest a single 80 watt battery will run the camera of several hours. Kinetta’s proposed breakout box, tethered to the camera via a single fiber optic cable, will provide dual link HD-SDI ports to output a 1920 by 1080 4:4:4 RGB signal or a single link HD-SDI port to output a 4:2:2 Y Cr Cb signal. The box also has an SDI port so operators can output a down converted SD video signal.
