I know the newer Fuji 35mm dslr's have two chips that read each image. One chip exposes for highlights, the other for lowlights, and then the images are merged. The dynamic range is consequently brilliant.

simply put, too expensive.
My math is probably wrong but given that the Mysterium produces a 4k 16:9 image with 7% extra for overscan, you're dealing with somewhere around 10,804,632 pixels per frame. To pull this off and have the camera blazing at 60fps is going to be astonishing in itself.
With the high-low image configuration, you're going to have to double the amount of senors to somewhere around a 22Megapixel image. Bandwidth considerations aside, manufacturing this thing alone would be massively expensive.
As great as the images from these Fuji CCDs look, the only viable option really is to use a standard pixel array. My guess is that it should be able to achieve 7-8 stops at least, and somewhere about 9-10 if things go well in the design and manufacturing.
