Abstract:
PURPOSE:To enable the use of a general-purpose field memory unnecessitating any special circuit and many elements by writing image data in the prescribed area of a valid picture composed of a first video signals into a field memory and reading these data as second video signals. CONSTITUTION:In order to transform the luminance signal of a PAL system to the luminance signal of an NTSC system, the format transforming circuit is constituted as follows; namely, it is composed of an input terminal 1 for supplying an analog luminance signal SA1 of the PAL system, A/D converter 2 of 8 bits for inputting one sample, field memory 3, D/A converter 4 and output terminal 6 for outputting an analog luminance signal SA2 of the NTSC system. The memory 3 performs the write and read of data in a dual port form respectively corresponding to independent clocks, and the permission/inhibition can be arbitrarily controlled by the memory 3. Namely, the write of a first video signal SD1 is permitted, and a second video signal SD2 is read as a synchronizing signal.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve the precision and stability of a shutter speed. CONSTITUTION:A high-speed counter 21 counts a clock of frequency much higher than the frequency of a horizontal synchronizing signal. A low-speed counter 25 counts a clock of the same frequency with the horizontal synchronizing signal. A logarithmic converting ROM 30 logarithmically converts data corresponding to the charge storage time of a CCD on addresses and outputs count control data. A comparator 23 compares the count control data with the count output data of the high-speed counter 21. A comparator 27 compares the count control data with the count output data of the low-speed counter 25. An AND gate 28 ANDs the comparison output of the comparator 27 with a pulse RP. A NOR gate 29 puts the output of the AND gate 29 and the comparison output of the comparator 23 together.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a timing pulse so as not to generate a fixed pattern noise(FPN) in an image signal which is outputted from a CCD image sensor.

Since a level shift circuit 21 generates a clamp pulse based on the horizontal drive pulse, the clamp pulse is generated corresponding to the phase modulation of the horizontal drive pulse.
