I heard somewhere that Olympus already uses Sony sensors............but do I read that page right that the mentioned sensor is a Monochrome one???

WoWza.
Just when you think you're buying days are over
Those uncaring cads at Sony go and do this! And they'll be putting them in cameras I want I suppose? Damn them...
I wonder when we'll see a FF one? Can't be long now?
PS.
Are these for consumer cameras or industrial use? Even if it's the latter I hope it's a step towards the former.

I know, only a matter of time before we see a FF global shutter sensor.
Sony A9 II perhaps....

Perhaps, the A9 is pretty incredible, if they are looking at a 3-4 yr cycle then I cant believe that they couldn't improve on the A9 significantly. Just need to look at the difference between mk2 and mk3 / A9, huge leap in terms of performance, that was 3 yrs.

Setting aside the sizes and whether monochrome/RGB & monochrome,............what is a "global shutter"???

Ah! makes sense compared to the digital version of 1st & 2nd curtains
As opposed to it starts at one corner, moves along the line, then next line, then next line.
It will eliminate rolling shutter.

Not just about the sensor.........the processing power & energy requirements sound like they will be a step or two up from current sensor/processor technology!

increase processing power and lower energy is a given for new tech these days from CPU to LED lights. From microwave ovens to mobile phones.

All I know is there's rolling shutter, and global shutter. The global one for video would prevent the side effect you see with a rolling shutter. No more wibbly-wobblyness as you pan quickly for one thing. Not sure how stills benefit though?

It benefits in exactly the same way, eliminates jello effect in photos too.
What’s this mono/RGB mean?

Industrial only and 12bit at the moment but we are nearly there. Very exciting camera tech times ahead indeed.

For example you could forget external grad filters and apply same in camera during capture. Most likely massively increased dynamic range too.
It would also help some fast action fast shutter speed stills just like video.

Flash sync!
Sync speed at any shutter speed so we no longer have to use ND or long flash durations to balance bright light.

I know you won’t see this but for others...
There’s no reason an image captured during global shutter would be any more useful for applying a grad than a sensor with a shutter in front of it, it’s all down to the processor not the sensor. The same with dynamic range, not saying there won’t be improvements, just that there’s no real relationship.
High shutter speeds have been capable of capturing fast action for 50 years, video struggles because of the relationship between shutter speed and refresh rate (linked to the wave frequency of the mains power)
