Abstract
A charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor for producing a video output for a given TV line standard wherein the image section (9) has a number of CCD elements appropriate to the given line standard and the store section (11) has a number of CCD elements appropriate to a second, higher line standard. The electronic package required to drive the sensor is then not very different from an electronic package required to drive a sensor for the higher line standard, thus making it practicable to use in the sensor an electronic package capable of use in sensors for either standard.
