Other: Does anyone know if the FX9 actually shares the same sensor as the Venice?

I found where the FX9 sensor is said to be Exmor R
But the only thing I could find as far as the Venice is the sensor being referred to as a "Vistavision" sensor. Nothing where the Venice sensor is revealed to have a name similar to "Exmor R" or "Exmor RS".
This article talks about the sensors of the two cameras, but doesn't exactly say if they are of different type. Only that the Venice sensor is larger, if I read it correctly:

Alister Chapman on the FX9:

It has been suggested that the CFA from the Venice would significantly increase the cost of the FX9. Which may explain why the S709 LUT for Venice
is a poor choice for the FX9

What's the significance of this?

While it's not the same sensor, it goes without saying that the FX9 sensor is a really good sensor. If you read the Newsshooter post and watch the video below you may recall that ACS Technical Committee evaluation of the FX9 sensor had some really good comments about the sensor's response to color:
"The biggest surprise came from a test conducted by Pawel Achtel ACS. Pawel has a system where he can measure a cameras sensor response to certain colors. This is a very technical test, but it has the ability to map the color gamut that a sensor is producing. What was quite a shock, was that not only did the FX9 outperform the FS7 M2 by a considerable margin, but it also produced the best result of any digital cinema camera that has been tested. This includes most of the top tier cinema cameras that are on the market today."
