At the end of 2022, Atmos Told investors That was “Completed The development of a world -class 8k video sensor “and that” was actively discovering opportunities for commercialization “and interacting with the camera manufacturers that it was said that it was said” showing very interest. , An interview with Petpixel Later that year, the company stated that it was a full-frame, the global shutter sensor that was able to capture at 8K at 60fps, with 15 stops of the dynamic range, all just 2W power drawing.
We have heard very little about the project since then, but Petpixel Has just reported Citing a conversation with the company’s COO, it has been abandoned. Currently, there is no other information about why the sensor was called to sideline or why that decision was made. We have reached Atmos and will update this story if we listen back.
While there are very few reports about the sensor – Dubbing ‘Neelam F8’ – Since 2022, it seemed like an interesting offer. Global shutters are particularly useful for video applications, where rolling shutters can cause deformation on fast -moving subjects or during quick camera movements.
In 2022, Neelam would be ahead of curve
While many cinema-centric cameras have used technology over the years, it has only become available in cameras with large (full-frame or above) sensors. When Red announced the V-Rapter X in early 2024, he said that it “was” “Large format available earlier global shutter“Cinema camera. Around the same time, Sony’s A9 III For the convenience of global shutter, the first full-frame became mirrorless camera. In 2022, Atomos’ Sapphire Project, in 2017, developed after acquiring rights and technical staff from the broadcasting equipment Grass Valley, would have been ahead of the curve.
Whatever the company caused the company to leave the project, it is unfortunate that there will be not much competition in the high-end sensor market. Creating a sensor is not a small achievement, nor is it really getting in a finished product – some atoms were already known. Work started on sapphire During a project to build a cinema camera, which is being canceled.
