Abstract
A digital color TV camera includes an image sensor for receiving optical signals so as to produce two alternately different pixel signals and an analog to digital converter for receiving the two alternately different signals so as to produce a multiplexed digital pixel signal. The camera also includes a digital chrominance signal processor for receiving the multiplexed digital pixel signal so as to produce two independent digital chrominance difference signals and the camera further includes a digital luminance signal processor for receiving the multiplexed digital pixel signal to produce a digital luminance signal. The color TV camera further includes a color television signal encoder for receiving the two independent digital chrominance difference signals and the digital luminance signals so as to produce a color television signal and a control circuit for generating sets of timing pulses for controlling the A/D converter and chrominance signal processor and luminance signal processor in addition to including a driver for driving the image sensor and color television signal encoder and control circuit.
