It would be interesting to learn the current state of development, the only large diameter sensors I know are from Kodak(now onsemi) and Dalsa:

But looking at the Dalsa website they don't even seem to have one that can reach 24 FPS at Full HD:

Onsemi continues the original Kodak line up which is used in Ikonoskop and DigitalBolex cameras and they even have larger diameter ones now: http://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions/product.do?id=KAI-04070

Is there any other manufacturer?
Not that we intend to jump into CCD sensors right now but its always good to have an overview, after all the Beta and Gamma have a separated image sensor module so it would be rather easy to create a module with a new sensor and reuse the rest of the camera hardware.

linked to this, i researched a little bit on frameless recording (where you need a ccd sensor for)
and found out that prof. hank dietz released this short pdf on this subject: http://aggregate.org/DIT/ei20140205.pdf

he and his students would maybe very interested on this topic
and maybe could contribute in some way to the project and profit of it.

anyway, the pdf is a great short read :)

Hi,
I'm one of those people thinking that CCD sensors are more interesting for cinema pictures. I have the feeling that the digital cinema is going reverse than what the history of art did : from very naturalistic and defined paintings to pointillism and colour shades abstraction.... in cinema history we first knew pointillism - film - , then we saw with the dv some kind of impressionism, and now we go to cmos 8k, and so on with a technology that have few meaning for most of the films that are beeing produced nowadays....

I'm mainly a DP and a camera assistant, my electronics skills date back from my post-grade studies ans I'm not sure I could help much in the actual building of a CCD camera.
However, in that CCD project, I'd be interested in developing some experimental features happening in the analog part of the camera, before the signal is digitalized, to find different textures and distortions to the picture.
A somehow noise camera, like noise music!
Anyone on? :)

Very interesting.

I am skeptical this approach can mobilize a critical mass of people to fund the development but I would be happy to see it happen.

Two CCD cameras opensource projects (for astronomics still pictures) that could maybe help : http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/157438-opensource-ccd-camera-project-collaboration/page-1 , http://www.uai-ccd.com/
I just opened an old CCTV CCD camera to see how it's made inside, I definitely can't understand a thing (so far at least, I need someone else to explain me!)

Please take pictures of the disassembly and create a new wiki page about it, like this: https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/Sony_ENG_camera_innards

Ok, all files on the "Recent Changed" page, for 22nd september. I didn't find how to make a page of the photos.

Just start a new page like: https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/CCTV_CCD_Camera_Teardown
