3CCD
The basic design incorporates a prism to split the incoming light source into three primary components (red, green and blue). This allows its three separate CCDs to capture each primary colour source independently.
Once separated, each component is processed by a 470,000 pixel (PAL) CCD that is dedicated to output a single primary colour signal for independent Digital Signal Processing. By doing so huge quality benefits in colour accuracy and picture quality can be reaped over single-CCD cameras.
