Abstract: This paper describes the development of a compact and configurable HDTV camera system for various studio and in-field applications, including flexible dockable configurations. A novel way to capture native 1080P, 1080I, and 720P at 16:9 aspect ratio and a CinemaScope aspect ratio in 1080P of 2.37:1 is presented. The architecture of the multiformat HDTV camera head is based on a newly designed frame transfer CCD imager, which enables the availability of the HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M) output at the camera head itself. It utilizes three frame transfer CCDs (2/3 in.) with 9.2 Mpixels each (including overscan). Using a 12-phase system, all the vertical resolutions of the SMPTE 274M and SMPTE 296M standards are possible. These pixels are prearranged into image cells at the CCD by Dynamic Pixel Management software. The image diagonal (11 mm) is independent of spatial resolution and therefore the same for all scanning formats.
