Re: Foveon

When do you think will this technology enter actual products?

*Just the top part of the camera business, for professionals who are blown away by the Foveon, is worth $4 billion.*

To clarify . . .

The sales for this part of the camera business is worth $4 billion annually, or are you valuing Foveon on some other measure?

Thank you in advance.

George,

It uses an analog VLSI process that can only be produced on National fabs

National has it's state-of-the-art fab on the auction block.

George,

I read the GTR and am a little confused about the Foveon process. At the demo, was the photo printed, displayed or what? If printed, on what and how? If each image requires 20-40mb when converted to digital, how will the images be stored?
