Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Application of Tojo The present invention relates to a control device for a television camera, and particularly to a control device for a television camera, and in particular for storing shot images related to a television camera using an operation section provided in an operation unit that controls various shooting conditions. The present invention relates to a control device for a television camera that allows a desired shot image to be easily and quickly displayed on a display unit, checked, and selected.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in television cameras, operations related to various shooting conditions such as zooming, focusing, panning, and tilting of the television camera have been remotely performed using the operation section 6 of the operation unit 1 as shown in FIG. operating.

Also, information regarding the shooting conditions of the television camera,
The so-called shot operation unit! A shot switch 2 consisting of a plurality of switches provided above is used to store the information. And if the photographer, for example, takes one of these shots
A desired shot image is obtained by selecting one with a shot switch.

At this time, as shown in the same figure, the photographer writes information regarding each shot on a memo board 11 provided corresponding to the shot switch 2 on the operation unit [above], and selects the desired shot by looking at the written contents. I was trying to do that.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional operation unit, every time a shot is memorized, information regarding the shot must be written on a memo board, which is very troublesome and takes a lot of time to write. There were problems such as the need for

In addition, there are other problems such as the fact that the stored contents cannot be displayed immediately after a shot is stored, and shot operation errors occur when inputting information regarding a large number of shots.

The present invention eliminates the need to write shot images on a memo board by storing shot images in an image storage and reproducing means and selecting the shot image stored in the image storing and reproducing means using a 2 selection switch and displaying it on the display section. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a control device for a television camera that can easily and quickly recognize shot images and select a desired shot.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The television camera control device of the present invention stores a plurality of shot images related to photography by the television camera in an image storage device, and remotely controls various photography conditions of the television camera. A display section and a selection switch are provided in a part of the operation unit having an operation section and a shot switch for selecting a shot of the television camera, and a display section and a selection switch are provided in a part of the operation unit, and the display section and the selection switch are provided in a part of the operation unit, and the display section and the selection switch are provided in a part of the operation unit. The present invention is characterized in that an image is selected by the selection switch and displayed on the display section.

(Example) FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of essential parts of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 8 is a TV lens, 7 is a TV camera, and 9 is a TV lens.
is a remote control camera head that affixes the television camera 7, and performs banning, tilting, etc. of the television camera 7 based on operation commands from an operation unit [to be described later]. 10 is a pedestal on which a remote control pan head 9 is mounted.

The eyelid is an operating unit and is provided with an operating section for performing various photographing operations of the television camera 7.

6a to 6d each indicate various shooting conditions of the TV camera.
! 6a is a focus setting knob, 6b is a zooming setting knob, 60 is a tilting setting knob, and 6d is a vanning setting knob.

Reference numeral 3 denotes an image storage and reproduction means, which stores and reproduces shot images obtained by the television camera 7.

A shot switch 2 sets and stores shots related to shooting conditions such as zooming, focusing, panning, and tilting by the television camera 7, and also selects a desired shot using the shot switch 2 when operating the camera.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a display section, which is provided in a part of the operation unit 1.

4 is a selection switch which is stored in the image storage/reproduction means 3; 3! Any one of the several shot images is selected and displayed on the display section 5.

In this embodiment, a plurality of shot images (10 shot images in this embodiment) obtained from the television camera 7 are made to correspond to the respective addresses (1 to 10) of the shot switch 2 and the selection switch 4 in the image storage/reproduction means 3. memorize it.

Then, the photographer presses the switch at the corresponding address of the selection switch 4 to display the desired shot image on the display section 5.

After confirming the content of the shot image, a switch at a predetermined address of the shot switch 2 is pressed to select the corresponding shot using the television camera 7.

Incidentally, in the present embodiment, display units may be provided for the number of shot switches and the selection switches may be omitted. According to this, all shot images can be checked simultaneously on the operation unit.

Furthermore, the one-image storage and reproducing means may be provided in a part of the operation unit and configured integrally, which is preferable because the entire apparatus is simplified.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, an image storage and reproduction means is provided independently of the operation unit or inside the body, and shot images stored in the image storage and reproduction means are selectively displayed on a display section provided in a part of the operation unit. By configuring the shot image to be displayed on the screen, it is possible to eliminate the need to write the contents of the shot on a memo board, to check the contents immediately after storing the shot, and to easily and quickly reproduce and display the shot image. , it is possible to achieve a control device for a television camera that is free from shot mistakes.
