9-5 A high speed progressive operation of a 2M pixels M-FIT CCD

Abstract

An experiment on the high speed progressive operation of a 2/3-inch 2M-pixel CCD is presented. A multiple frame interline transfer CCD (M-FIT CCD) was used for the reason of its structure which enables the charges of every each pixel to be handled separately. This CCD was successfully driven at 148.5MHz and progressive-scanned color picture with 3CCDs was reproduced at 60 frames/sec. A limiting resolution of 1000 TV lines has been achieved in both horizontal and vertical directions.
