CCD camera footage can be played back on a number of devices.
A CCD, or Charged Coupled Device, is the basis of nearly all consumer-grade digital video camcorders. The CCD replaces both the shutter and the film of a traditional camera. The chip that makes up the CCD is covered in millions of cells called photosites, which are extremely small cells that create a charge in response to light. This charge is then converted into a light level. Cameras using this technology save their video digitally, which means it can be played back in a variety of ways, including on a TV.
Instructions
1. Determine if you camera has an S-Video output or a component output. While these connectors should be labeled, if they are not, you can identify a component output by the yellow coloring of the connector. An S-Video connector is a round, black port about 1 centimeter in diameter with holes for several pins.
2. Plug the appropriate cable into your camera's output.
3. Plug this cable into an input on your television. Take note of what number input you are plugging it into.
4. Turn your camera on to the playback mode.
5. Turn on your television and, using the "TV/Video" or "Input" button, switch to the input that you connected the camera to. When you have the correct input, you will see the camera's video screen on your television.
6. Press "Play" on the camera to play back your footage on your television.
