Abstract

The present invention is to provide a high-speed image pickup apparatus, which can easily obtain the same image quality as that of the standard-speed image pickup by simply converting a high-speed video signal into a plurality of standard-speed video signals. Since the video camera system comprises a video camera for outputting a video signal by picking up an object at a high speed, a transmitting path for transmitting the video signal and a CCU for signal-processing the transmitted video signal, and divides the high-speed video signal into a plurality of standard-speed video signals directly or by providing a blank field as an additional period by the video camera, transmits the plurality of standard-speed video signals by the transmitting path, and arranges and outputs the plurality of standard-speed video signals at every unit period T by the CCU. By dividing a high-speed video signal into a plurality of channels of standard signals and signal-processing them, a high-speed photographing video camera system can be formed simply.
