| Kodak KAI-02150 HD CCD Image Sensor |
 Kodak is helping to power the growth of High Definition image capture with a new CCD image sensor targeted to industrial and broadcast video markets.Built using Kodak’s latest Interline CCD technology, the new KODAK KAI-02150 Image Sensor provides full support for the 1080p image capture standard, supporting 1920 x 1080 pixel (16:9 aspect ratio) image capture at 60 frames per second – twice the frame rate of standard HD video. The new sensor also provides broad dynamic range and excellent imaging performance – parameters that are critical for applied and professional markets. "Applied imaging applications not only require the higher pixel counts provided by HD formats, but also need each individual pixel to perform at the highest level,” said Michael Miller, manager of Kodak’s CCD Image Sensor Business, part of the company’s Image Sensor Solutions group. "Kodak is known as a leading innovator of high performance image sensors, and the new KAI-02150 allows camera manufacturers to expand into HD image capture with confidence.” Engineering grade devices of the KAI-02150 are currently available, with volume production planned for Q4 2008. The KAI-02150 is based on the KODAK TRUESENSE 5.5 micron Interline Transfer CCD Platform, which provides advances in pixel size, frame rate, and image quality compared to the previous generation of technology. Designed in the popular 2/3” optical format, the new KAI-02150 sensor also shares a common package, pin-out, and electrical configuration with the 1-megapixel KODAK KAI-01050 Image Sensor, allowing camera manufacturers to easily adapt existing camera designs to support the new device.

About
From Glass Plates to Digital Images
With the slogan "you press the button, we do the rest," George Eastman in 1888 put the first simple camera into the hands of a world of consumers. In so doing, he made what had been a cumbersome and complicated process easy to use and accessible to nearly everyone.
Through the years, Kodak has led the way with an abundance of new products and processes that have made photography simpler, more useful and more enjoyable. Today, our work increasingly involves digital technology, combining the power and convenience of electronics with the quality of traditional photography to produce systems that bring levels of utility and fun to the taking, "making" and utilization of images.
What George Eastman began remains a goal of Eastman Kodak Company today, to provide convenience and quality to our customers so more and more people can experience the special wonders of photography and capture and re-live their more cherished moments.
