    Description of CCD Operation 5.1 Description of CCD Operation The TC217 is a frame-transfer charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor with two field memories. It is suitable for use in NTSC-video or still-picture photography applications. Its image-sensing area is configured into 488 lines, 486 of which are active and 2 of which are used for dark reference.

    Periodic Image Test / Cleaning 6.1 Periodic Image Test Unlike a vidicon tube, the CCD is not a beam-current device, so there are no shading magnets or focusing coils to adjust. The CCD imager is not susceptible to burn in, so there is no need to check for sensor burn. It is a good idea to turn the monitor off when it is not in use for long periods of time.
