23. the scanning is completed with two fields one frame at 30Hz rate Because of the interlace scanning the vertical resolution of CCD cameras is limited at 350 TV lines regardless of the horizontal resolution When electronic shutter is applied the CCD can hold only one field of charge at each exposure This means that the vertical resolution of the electronic shutter camera 15 only 244 TV lines The situation 1s the same for an HDTV format camera since it has interlaced scanning and the vertical resolution of the shuttered image is 500 lines The TM 6740GE uses a state of the art progressive scanning interline transfer CCD which scans all lines sequentially from top to bottom at one frame rate Like a non interlace computer screen it generates a stable crisp image without alternating lines and provides full vertical TV resolution of 480 lines Due to the TM 6740GE s extremely high frame rate however it will not synchronize to most monitors The interline transfer architecture is also important to generate simultaneous shuttering This is different from full frame transfer architecture which requires a mechanical shutter or strobe light in order to freeze the object motion The TM 6740GE outputs the progressive scanned image with an electronic shutter in thirty six different formats See Table 7 on page 39 for more information 1 Progressive scanning digital and analog output The CCD signal goes through A D converters 10 bit in 10 bit 8
