Measuring Horizontal ResolutionHorizontal resolution in 16:9 mode

When the horizontal image frame of this camera is aligned with the width of the 4:3 resolution chart, the resolution is about 935 TV lines (see Figure A). However, to measure the resolution of a video camera precisely, the vertical image frame must be aligned with the height of the chart. When this is done, the resolution is approximately 800 TV lines (see Figure B).

Horizontal resolution in 4:3 mode

In 4:3 mode, frame memory is used to extract the 4:3 area from the 16:9 video signals produced by the WS CCD, and the 4:3 signals are electronically enlarged. As a result, the horizontal resolution is approximately 850 TV lines (see Figure C).
