As for the digital camera, improvement advancing to wherever, as for the person whom you think that it cannot exceed the camera of which used the silver salt film it probably will be many. Until I hear the story of new core technology, so you thought simply, (can point to the work to also analog, the first volume).

But, if it keeps calculating processing the analog signal which is removed from CCD at high bit rate and, it approaches to the precision of the silver salt photograph, or it can develop the digital camera which it exceeds. This is not the case, problem of the number of pixels always.

If you hear, as for the tip/chip which is adopted for the general digital camera, you say that it is something transaction of operation 10 bits. Vis-a-vis this, the silver salt photograph from 14 bits is suitable to the precision of 16 bits seems. In other words, it means to be supposed to use the chip set which pulled up the bit rate of transaction of operation to there.

Is, but, really this is difficult. It just pulls up from 10 bits to 12 bits to become transaction of operation of 4 times, that much power of the tip/chip is required. Also electricity consumption rises with.

Makoto Ichiro Watanabe who serves CTO and the president with the joint founder of new core technology "digitalizes with anything, the ? is the smart there are no times when it turns with power of the processor", you say.

At Hitachi and Intel, there is no thought, digital one side falling down in Watanabe who has participated to image processing and the development related to LSI multimedia.

As for the new core at the beginning, you call to the machine like the robot image recognition, in order that "eyesight" can be given, you thought that new technology opening will be sent. When the human does intuitively know judgement, if of thing is thought, you understand, but, this being the place where already how much it accelerates with architecture of Neumann type, is not something which overtakes.

For example, we assume that it tried to make judge whether in 1 picture sluggishly how is no grain. Being digital, if it tries probably to do that, it scans all pixels, it comes to the point of making that collate with the knowledge base, big burden is imposed.

The human that when you say, whether why it is has recognized the whole in parallel at one time. While judging roughly with rough recognition of the mesh, squeezing the territory, simultaneous it does also detailed recognition in parallel, counts the ? how grain. It is the case that you are conscious to be prompt, do such thing.

But, if method of thinking the digital omnipotence, digital method of thinking where, it can solve with anything, has produced the electronic equipment which depends on digitalization excessively.

"Not just the digital camera, one technique you question digital and the technicians who can do the method of thinking the uninformed a little of pulling are few", that Watanabe.

In addition according to Watanabe, at the university the professor who teaches analog anymore stops being, the technician says that it has been depleted.

"It is limited to the technician of 50 years old or more in current US that it has the field experience vis-a-vis analog technology (laughing)" (Watanabe)

The new core, as for putting in place the base of management of tip/chip design and production in Santa Clara of the silicon valley had such meaning.

You put the front end processor of analog before the digital processing processor, you say that among analog processing at the pixel unit, in a manner of speaking the extent which mistakes the image of the digital camera it changes method of thinking the "right talent right place", into beautiful ones.

You say that field of new high-class machine where in at this end of year trade war, the digital camera of the first generation who loads LSI of the new core from the group of manufacturers appears, next spring approaches to the dynamic range of the silver salt film is opened up.

In addition, as for the current digital video camera, the DSP base is the majority, but, 30 frames must be processed in 1 seconds, because, the number of pixels from 30 ten thousand is held down to 60 ten thousand pixels. With this it cannot obtain the satisfactory still picture. But, if it is chip set of the new core which fuses digital with analog, you say that this can be pulled up 100 ten thousand pixels or more, with some amount to spare.
