Abstract
A camera system and method of operation is disclosed which produces an NTSC type interlaced signal from a high resolution non-interlaced camera system by summing in a shift register first and second rows thereof and discarding via diodes on a charge coupled device (CCD) sensor chip third and fourth rows of every four rows of pixel information to produce odd fields of an interlaced signal. Even fields are produced by discarding the first and second rows and summing the third and fourth rows. Sync and blanking pulses may be added to complete the signal.
