What a Great First Year!

One year ago today the Image Sensor Solutions business of Eastman Kodak was sold to Platinum Equity. Over the course of this past year, we have successfully established Truesense Imaging as an independent, standalone company with a dedicated focus to be the world’s leading provider of high-end, performance-oriented image sensors. Thanks to the great work and dedication of employees across our company and strong support from Platinum Equity, the transition to independent operations has been amazingly smooth. And we’ve worked hard to make the transition as seamless as possible for our customers.
I would say that Year 1 has been a great success! Now it’s time to look forward.
This week we have a strong presence at the annual Vision Show in Stuttgart, Germany, which showcases industry leading products and technologies serving the industrial and machine vision markets. We are announcing some very exciting products at this year’s show – two new CCD image sensors that provide superior image quality for applications where image quality is of the utmost importance and a new 12 Mp CMOS image sensor for high-speed applications. The KAC-12040 is our first device targeted at industrial applications using CMOS technology. All three sensors support our strategy of delivering the best possible products to meet the diverse imaging needs of our global customers.
Our second year as Truesense Imaging, Inc. is off to a great start. If you happen to be in Stuttgart this week, please stop by and say hello - and stay for a demo!

Monday, 25 February 2013Eric:
We're very excited about our new 7.4 µm devices, too! We currently have three sensors in this new family - the 16 MPix KAI-16070 (which is shipping today), the 4 MPix KAI-04070 and the 2 MPix KAI-02170 (which are expected to begin production shipments this summer). As you noted, these new devices provide improved smear rejection (up to -115 dB) and higher dynamic range (to 70 dB, or up to 82 dB when binning pixels) than our 5.5 µm pixel family. You can find more information on this family of products (including links to summary specifications for all three products) at http://www.truesenseimaging.com/technologies/truesense-7-4-micron-interline-transfer-ccd-platform
I can't speak for either company you mentioned - you'd need to check with them to see if they have plans to incorporate these new sensors into their cameras. -
Sunday, 03 March 2013thank you for your answer Michael.
But my question is: do you plan to improve the smear rejection and dynamic range on the 5.5µm family? And especially on the KAI-02150? A 7.4µm sensor cannot be incorporated into the cameras i mentioned because those cameras are 16mm digital cameras.
thank you. -

While we are always looking for ways to improve the performance of our devices, at this time we have not announced any enhancements to the TRUESENSE 5.5-micron Interline Transfer CCD Platform (which includes the KAI-02150 Image Sensor).
Hi,
I'm a DOP based in Berlin, Germany. I'm very pleased to know about the performances of your new 7.4µm CCD sensor line in terms of smear rejection and dynamic range. I'm very exited to see these "upgrades" brought to the 5.5µm line and especially the KAI-02150 and KAI-04050. Why? Because they have been chosen for 2 important cameras in the digital cinematography world: the A-cam dII from Ikonoskop and the Digital Bolex. My question is: Is it something that is plan to be achieve? and if yes, when? It would be such a great news for digital cinematography to enhance the CCD performances of those 2 cameras. Thank you.
