Description

ABSTRACT:
A portable television camera comprises a relatively small housing including a solid-state imager for generating image-representative signals, and signal processing circuitry coupled to the imager for generating a video signal from the image representative signals. The noise performance of the solid-state imager is degraded by a temperature rise within the small housing caused by the heat generated from the signal processing circuitry. A thermal isolation is used for dividing the housing into a first part including the solid-state imager and a second part, isolated from the first part, which is associated with the heat generating signal processing circuits.
