| 1991 | Invention patented by Nobuo Kochi on June 23th, 1991. Abstract: A CCD image pickup apparatus comprises a CCD having a plurality of horizontal scanning lines and a plurality of picture elements arranged along each of the horizontal scanning lines, a plurality of video output signal lines connected to the CCD in such a manner that a plurality of video output signals are produced by the CCD and introduced into the video output signal lines, a video signal synthesizing means for synthesizing the video output signals so as to produce a single video signal, and an A/D conversion means for analog-digital converting the single video signal produced by the synthesizing means so as to produce a digital signal. A sampling-hold means can be used between the amplifier and the synthesizing means in place of the A/D conversion means and the D/A conversion means. |
