I am still trying to figure out the sensor. From the release posted on CR--"The sensor reads Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) video signals for each of the three RGB primary colors, decreasing the incidence of moir

So, yes, it's 4K video cam, which derives from the nearly 4000 lines of horizontal resolution (the 3840 pixels in the top center RGB merge).

Daniel - if it's output is 1080p, then presumably it's not interpolating the colors, right? The 2x2 binning means better spectral response per output pixel, and more sensitivity, too?
Well, almost any method of reducing the spatial frequency will increase the sensitivity in terms of photons per pixel, but the percentage of photons captured will still remain the same. I

An awful lot of electrons were terribly inconvenienced in the making of this post.
