Hi, I'm André Salvagnac, one of sinaCAM's engineers. We can not reproduce the frame split problems during movement you describe, a full frame takes 15ms to read out on sinaCAM, independent of the chosen framerate. This means that operating sinaCAM at 1080/60p works fine. Unfortunately we do not currently have 60p recording equipment, but you can ask either our American distributor ZGC our our German one PURE4C to arrange a test recording. When we started developing sinaCAM (ca. 1 year ago) we chose the Kodak 2/3" sensor, because it proved to have the best signal/noise-ratio for the same lighting of all 2/3" sensors at that time. While it may be true that the 1" produces slightly cleaner images, the differences should be in a scale invisible to the human eye. May I ask you in which camera the Kodak 2/3" was used, when you saw noise in the shadows? Because in our experience - when using sinaCAM, at 0db there is no visible noise at all. I recommend watching the ZDF Huberbuam Documentary for an impression of the dynamic range and signal/noise-ratio of sinaCAM with the Kodak 2/3" sensor. We also have taken with Rec. 709, Extended Range at an initial gain of 4(24dB). 3-chip cameras with the same sensor size produce much lower resolution images, the Sony 1500 is the best 3-chip camera we know in this regard, Sony themselves claim an optical resolution of 1000 lines horizontal when using their best lenses. The sensor looks interesting but we cannot really make any statements about it because we have not seen it in use. Thank you for your interest, best regards, André Salvagnac
