A 2/3 inch CCD HDTV hand-held camera has been developed to meet the demand for a small, light, and maintenance-free HDTV camera. We discussed the design of CCDs and the pickup system, taking account of state-of-art VLSI technology and the required performance of an HDTV camera. We came to the conclusion that 1.3 million was the best for the number of pixels of CCDs. In order to compensate for the shortage of resolution, we have selected dual-green pickup system and employed spatially-offset method. This paper describes the discussion and the features of the new camera.
