Abstract

The authors describe a prototype digital imaging system that can be configured as a single-sensor video camera or a film-to-video converter. The system includes a CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor with a 3G color filter pattern, two full-custom CMOS digital video signal processing chips, and a custom electronically programmable sequencer chip. The CMOS VLSI digital circuits offer real-time operation while meeting the size, power, and cost constraints of one-chip cameras and fill-to-video converters. System timing and design methodology are discussed
