Early CCD Camera History

[centralradio]

Me too for the late reply..I remember back in the late 1970's that one of the electronics magazines had a project in making a CCD black and white camera..

Cant recall if it was Radio-Electronic or Popular Electronics or others around that era..

The magazine probably is up on the American Radio History site like everything else we enjoy from there...

I believe the chip was from Reticon corp which was famous for their sad1024 reverb chip..Radio Shack sold 1000's of these for their project boards which I built two and the parts supply houses supply the music equipment industry before the Panasonic's BBD MN chips took over..

The image was probably similar or worse then the Fisher - Price PXL2000 kids B&W "Audio cassette format" camcorder ..I have 2 of those here..
