SMALL-FRAME IMAGE SIGNAL SHAPING DEVICE Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: television engineering; image-signal shaping devices built around charge-coupled device arrays using video signal decomposition in small-frame mode. SUBSTANCE: device has optical unit 1 incorporating optically coupled first gate or first pulsed light source 1-2, first lens 1-3, first guiding optical component 1-5, second guiding optical component 1-6, turning optical component 1-7, third guiding optical component 1-8, second lens 1-4, second gate or second pulsed light source 1-2; it also has charge-coupled device array 2 incorporating charge-coupled first three-phase storage section 2-1 and first three-phase output register 2-3, second three-phase storage section 2-2, second three-phase register 2-4; in addition, it has control signal shaper and video signal processing unit 13. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities due to shaping combined image signal by sequential transmission of two nondistorted video signals from CCD array in each active line of frame. 14 cl, 7 dwg
