High-speed imaging device and recording / reproducing device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To attain high speed image pickup without employment of a high speed horizontal transfer clock and to obtain a slow motion reproduction picture. CONSTITUTION:In the N-multiple high speed image pickup mode, a charge read pulse is generated once per 1/N field and M-sets of charges stored in M-sets of photo diodes 1 are read for N times per one field. A vertical transfer CCD 2 implements vertical transfer by a vertical transfer pulses being a multiple of N of the number of lines of a solid-state image pickup element for a period of 1/N of one field. Furthermore, the horizontal transfer CCD 4 transfers 1/ NXH-sets of charges among M-sets of charges for this period and the (1-1/N)XM-sets of charges are swept to a drain 6.
