PsF (progressive scan) mode
CCD output
Video output signal
4
The video signal of an odd scanning line and that of an even scanning
line are output from the CCD at the same time. Then they are sent to the
memory and separated into odd-field and even-field scanning lines. Thus
the timing of an odd-field video signal and an even-field video signal are
the same.
