Patent ID: 8525924

Claim:
A modular motion camera, comprising: a sensor module comprising a surface having a first interface, the sensor module further comprising an image sensor having a horizontal resolution of about 2000 or more pixels, the sensor module configured to convert light received by the image sensor into digital motion picture image data at a rate of at least about 23 frames per second; a power module, comprising: a housing including a first surface having a second interface and a second surface having a third interface; and a bus segment extending from the second interface to the third interface and comprising: a data bus configured to transmit the motion picture image data having a horizontal resolution of about 2000 or more pixels through the power module at a frame rate of at least about 23 frames per second; and a power bus configured to transmit power through the power module; and a recording module, comprising a housing including a first surface having a fourth interface and a second surface having a fifth interface; wherein the first interface is functionally engageable with any of the second and fourth interfaces, wherein the third interface is functionally engageable with the fourth interface, and the second interface is functionally engageable with the fifth interface, and wherein the power module is configured to communicate, via the bus segment extending from the second interface to the third interface, the motion picture image data having a horizontal resolution of about 2000 or more pixels, the communicated motion picture image data recorded into the recording module at a frame rate of at least about 23 frames per second.
