Abstract

A signal processor for a video camera, comprising a solid-state image sensor having a light sensitive part with a two-dimensional array of a plurality of pixels corresponding to first, second, third and fourth color signals, and outputting line sequential signals where first point sequential signals composed of the first and second color signals and second point sequential signals composed of the third and fourth color signals are alternately repeated during horizontal scan periods in a television system; means for individually separating the first, second, third and fourth signals included in the line sequential output signals of the solid-state image sensor, and then outputting the separated signals per horizontal scan period; and means for producing three primary color signals R, G, B by calculating the first, second, third and fourth color signals.
