Abstract
A stereoscopic camera system is disclosed for producing an "over-and-under" format suitable for stereoscopic video transmission and presentation. The stereoscopic camera system utilizes conventional 60 Hz cameras which are slightly modified in order to utilize only half of the horizontal sweep lines to form the respective left and right subfields in the over-and-under format fields.
