Abstract
A Television camera uses a pair of CCD imaging sensors (CCDA, CCDB), which are offset by half a pixel horizontally and one television line vertically and a beam splitter for focusing radiation from a scene to be imaged onto both imagers simultaneously. The outputs of the two imagers are digitized and combined at a compressed rate for recording on a digital cassette recorder. Signals may be read out from the cassette recorder at a quarter the rate they were input and subsequently processed to obtain a higher resolution, high speed image of the non-interlaced kind. The invention may be applied in the field of high definition television.
