Assignee: nan
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 1:
2. An apparatus for generating a digital image using multiple Charge Coupled Device (CCD) arrays, comprising an optical unit which includes a lens and a neutral translucent mirror optically coupled to the lens;
wherein the optical unit has outputs connected to corresponding inputs of optical image-to-digital signal converters which comprise serially connected CCD, analog-digital converter (ADC), pre-processing unit, and memory unit;
wherein the optical image-to-digital signal converters have outputs connected through a switch to the input of a post-processing unit, the post-processing unit having an output that is an output of the apparatus;
wherein control inputs of the CCD, ADC, memory unit and switch are connected to corresponding outputs of a control unit;
wherein the lens is configured to generate an optical image on an area equal to a sum of light-sensitive areas of n CCD arrays,
wherein two neutral translucent mirrors are included into the optical unit, for which reason the optical unit has four outputs connected to corresponding inputs of n optical image-to-digital signal converters, the outputs of the n optical image-to-digital signal converters being connected with the inputs of the switch.
