ABSTRACT:
A solid-state imaging apparatus produces a sequentially-scanned video signal without using an expensive scanning converter. In the apparatus, an imaging device produces an image signal of each line based on the summation of signal charges of two adjacent lines. With the first mode being selected by the operation on the key panel, a timing generator is controlled to generate vertical shift pulses (field readout pattern) such that the two adjacent lines of the alternately-consecutive first and second fields are equal, causing the imaging device to produce an image signal for obtaining a sequentially-scanned video signal. An image signal processor implements the gamma modification process, etc. for the image signal to obtain the sequentially-scanned video signal. Sync signals VD and HD for sequential scanning or skip scanning generated by a sync signal generator are added to the video signal, and the output video signal is obtained.
