Finding out Camera Sensor Dimensions from a Diagonal Measurement
Just today I tasked myself to find out the sensor dimensions of a particular brand of a camera, for the possibility of matchmoving footage shot from it. The camera make and model is the IO Industries 2KSDI . This image was acquired from shop.vuetec.de/Flare-2KSDI-Camera-Kit_detail_2668.html Looking into the specifications section on the official page , I found that the camera shoots in 2048 x 1088 (pixels). I require the actual sensor's width and height (in cm, mm or inches) however, so I continued reading on the page. There is only 1 measurement of the sensor, and it is reportedly 12.7mm diagonally. I tried searching for sensor measurements from other sources, like re-sellers and distributors websites, and even forums, to no avail. It seems like nobody needed to know the width and height (besides for camera tracking purposes). I remembered from trigonometry back in school, of being able to calculate the third side of a triangle if two sides are known, or somethin...
