To continue with the ancestors
Here the RD-175 with its twin brother from Agfa

Agfa Actioncam / Minolta RD-175

Another association, this time between Minolta and agfa
Both companies marketed the device under individual labels.
The camera that served as a base was the Dynax 500si
Instead, they used 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)

For those who might be interested
I have gathered the comparisons made with the two twin brothers
