Abstract

This invention relates to an electro-optical pickup of the type incorporating a charge coupled device. The invention has a sequencer that controls the successive acquisition by the photosensitive zone of a plurality n of images. The sequencer transfers into the intermediate memory zone, after formation of each of the images, a part of this image constituted by a number of lines m less than or at the most equal to the ratio M/n between the number M of lines of the intermediate memory zone and the number n of the images. The sequencer accumulates the partial images in the intermediate memory zone. The sequencer controls, via the readout register, the complete transfer of the partial images from the intermediate memory zone into the outside memory means, as well as the distribution of the partial images in the outside memory means.
