Title: Electronic solid state sensor image size control

Abstract: An electronic control system for changing the image size produced by solid tate sensors such as the Reticon sensor array, charged coupled devices, etc. The image size is increased or decreased by varying the horizontal and vertical scanning rate with respect to standard TV timing. The scanning rate is controlled by controlling the frequency of the horizontal and vertical clock pulses applied to the solid state sensor.
