SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the significance of CCD size in digital imaging, specifically comparing 1/2" and 2/3" formats. Larger CCD sizes, such as 2/3", allow for more pixels, enhancing image quality and detail, but also increase costs. Understanding these physical dimensions is crucial for selecting the appropriate CCD for specific imaging applications. The conversation highlights the direct correlation between CCD size and pixel density, impacting overall image performance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) technology

Hello everybody,

I want to know the difference between CCD size like 1/2" and 2/3".
I want information abt the various areas for which the above specifications are used.
What exactly it means?
Please if anybody can provide me with technical details i am thankful.
thanks in advance.

regards,
Info.

Hello,
Thank you for the reply. Of course it is a physical dimension, but exactly is the purpose of these diffrences in physical dimensions ? I mean to say that what effect does these dim. have in real application ?

Thanks in advance.

if the size is bigger you have more pixels on it (and pay more for it of course...)
