The Indulgence of the Video Components On the Display of Digital Images

An analytic expression for the point spread function (PSF) of multiformat video cameras is presented. Experimental techniques are presented which provide a means of evaluating PSF parameters, enabling the characterization of a specific camera. Results indicate that multiformat cameras suffer from long range optical scattering effects, resulting in a low frequency drop in the MTF.
