4. CCD
   Charge-Coupled Device. A 'bucket brigade' shift register device which when combined with photodiodes is the modern imaging device, replacing the old tubes. When first invented in the 1970s, it was designed to be used as a memory device, as an analogue shift register. Most often used in cameras, but also in telecine, fax machines, scanners, etc.

5. CCD
   Charged Couple Device- the key image-processing component. A semiconductor chip which coordinates photosensors (pixels) to turn a picture into electronic signals. Most cameras have a 1 chip but the best is a 3CCD unit with a chip for each color element (red, green and blue). The higher the number of...

6. CCD
   Charge Coupled Device (CCD). The Digital camera's 'film'; a CCD converts light into a digital photograph of pixels. When a picture is taken the CCD is struck by light coming through the camera's lens; each of the millions of tiny pixels that make up the sensor converts this light into electrons. (See CMOS & Pixel)

8. CCD
   Charge Coupled Device. An electronic device used in place of conventional photographic film. They consist of a silicon chip which is sensitive to light, the chip being divided up into picture elements (pixels). Light falling onto the chip builds up an electrical signal which is passed on to a proces...

11. CCD
    Charge Coupled Device, a semiconductor chip which coordinates hundreds of thousands of photosensors to turn a picture into electronic signals. The higher the number of pixels, the more information can be 'seen' by the CCD chip. Sony Handycam uses a Cat's Eye type of CCD which enables sensors to catch even more light than a regular chip

12. CCD
    Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a semiconductor chip containing photosensors to turn a picture into electronic signals. The higher the number of pixels, the more picture detail can be �seen“ by the CCD chip. Sony Handycam uses a special cat`s-eye-type CCD that enables sensors to operate at lower light levels than a regular chip.
