Another association, this time between Minolta and Agfa
Both companies marketed the device under individual labels.
The camera that served as the basis was the Dynax 500si

Large sensors used to cost a fortune to produce
See the astronomical price of Kodak DCS!
They used instead, three small CCD sensors of 380,000 pixels each (768x394) with a prism that generate three light beams.
Which gives after interpolation a final resolution of 1.75 million pixels (1528x1146)
