Abstract: A prototype camera was built to determine if the color space, exposure range, exposure latitude and alias-free resolution of an electronic capture system could match that of a film camera. Certain design techniques of astronomical sensors were combined with new methods of CCD charge transfer and large-format integrated circuit fabrication to create a 4,096 pixel × 3,112 pixel detector. This detector was integrated into a prototype motion picture camera system and subjected to engineering tests. It will be used in screen tests this autumn. This paper describes the design goals, the overall design of the prototype system, and the initial test results. A brief description of alternative technologies is given. Areas of future research are outlined.
