At the Vision 2010 Trade Show in Stuttgart, Germany, Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) showcased a new benchmark for high-resolution image capture with announcement of the KODAK KAI-29050 Image Sensor, the highest resolution CCD image sensor based on Interline Transfer technology. 

"This sensor has the potential to expand our Kodak CCD Line of Smart Cameras," says Dr. Joseph Sgro, CEO and Founder of FastVision.

With 29 million pixels, the KODAK KAI-29050 Image Sensor provides the critical level of detail required in demanding applied imaging applications such as industrial inspection, aerial photography, and security. Based on Interline Transfer CCD technology, the device combines exceptional image quality with a true electronic (or “global“) shutter - allowing high-quality image capture without the need for a mechanical shutter.

The KAI-29050 is the latest product to be based on the KODAK TRUESENSE 5.5-Micron Interline Transfer CCD Platform, an advanced technology that provides significant advances in pixel size, frame rate, and image quality. The entire family of products - ranging in resolution from 1 to 29 megapixels, and in 17 different resolution and color combinations - can be supported from a single set of electronics, simplifying camera design for manufacturers and shortening time-to-market for new camera products. The KAI-29050, as well as Kodak's entire portfolio of Image Sensor products, were on display at the Vision 2010 Trade Show, Nov. 9 - 11, in Stuttgart, Germany.
