Quite right, he's doing 2B pixels per second @ 1x1, and effectively many minutes per 720p frame, using a rolling shutter.

It takes >900k pixels to shoot one frame of that (amazing) video, and requisitioning each of those pixels required physically moving a mirror along X and Y to align the single-pixel camera properly. There isn't really a shutter at all, whether mechanical or electrical. And from my understanding, a "rolling shutter" usually refers to things like reading out a CCD array or similar, or maybe some mechanical aspect of a film camera. But this isn't an array of anything. It's just a pixel, and some very clever work with motors, lenses, and mirrors. (Up next: Someone will show up to tell me that an array of 1 item is still an array. yawn)
