摘要:
In a camera device, the pixel numbers of an imaging device are selected to be greater than the largest number of pixels necessary for the generation of video signals of different aspect ratios and television standards. Output signals of the imaging device are stored in a memory and are then are selectively output. As a result, common use of an imaging device is permitted for camera apparatuses of, for instance, the NTSC, PAL and other standards.

A tuner for receiving signals broadcast on two spaced bands, each divided into several channels, has two fixed bandpass filters, one to pass all of the channels in the lower frequency band and the other to pass all of the channels in the higher frequency band. The tuner includes a mixer to which signals of either band are supplied by selective operation of a double-throw switch. A tunable local oscillator supplies a heterodyning signal to the mixer to convert any selected channel of the received signal to an intermediate frequency (i.f.) band chosen to avoid image interference from undesired channels, whether the local oscillator frequency is above or below the selected channel. To ease the constraints on the choice of the i.f. band, different i.f. filters tuned to first and second i.f. bands may be used for the higher and lower received bands. A second double-throw switch ganged with the first switch can then be used to direct the heterodyned signals to the proper i.f. filter.

摘要:
An automatic exposure control type video camera is designed to cope with the problem of deterioration in the image quality, for an object of higher brightness, by an arrangement in which a diaphragm is actuated when the brightness of the object light is below a predetermined threshold value, and in which the shutter speed is changed when the brightness of the object light is above the predetermined threshold value. More particularly, when the brightness of the object light is below a predetermined value, the shutter speed is set so as to remain constant and rotary diaphragm vanes, for example, are actuated mechanically to control the opening size of the diaphragm to limit the volume of incident light on the image sensing device. Conversely, when the brightness of the object light exceeds a predetermined value and the opening size of the diaphragm vanes reaches a predetermined value, the diaphragm is set so as to remain constant and the shutter is actuated to control the exposure time of the image sensing device to limit the incident light volume.
摘要:
A circuit having a nonlinear response characteristic provides gamma compensation to a video luminance signal and matches any desired output response curve by selecting the number of diodes connected as series-connected circuits in the compensation circuit. The relationship among the various numbers of series-connected diodes is dependent upon having a current flowing into an output circuit which is the same as a current flowing out of a collector circuit of a differential amplifier, to which the input video luminance signal is applied, and through series-connected diode circuit. These currents are maintained equal by use of a current-mirror circuit, which provides an input current to an output transistor that has in its emitter circuit one of the series-connected diode circuits, and the compensated luminance signal flows in the collector circuit thereof. The differential amplifier is stabilized and balanced by a difference amplifier connected in feedback across the collector leads of the differential amplifier in conjunction with a pedestal clamping synchronization signal and a capacitor to provide a balancing signal at the base lead of the second transistor of the differential transistor amplifier.

A signal to be controlled is applied to the base of an emitter-follower input transistor, the emitter of which is connected to an input terminal of a differential amplifier. This input terminal of the amplifier is connected by a diode to a controllable current source so that the base current of the differential amplifier input transistor is controlled. A constant current source is connected to the common emitter circuit of the differential amplifier, and the gain of the circuit is determined by the ratio of current in the latter source to current in the controllable source. A current conducting circuit, such as, an emitter load resistor, is connected to the emitter of the input transistor to hold the output impedance thereof at a substantially constant low value inspite of changes in the current of the controllable current source, Maximum gain of the circuit may be determined by separating the controllable current source into a controllable portion and a fixed portion in parallel so that the minimum current is at least as great as the current of the fixed portion. This limits the maximum circuit gain by limiting the maximum ratio of fixed current to controllable current. A fixed voltage source connected to the common circuit point between the controllable current source and the diode assures that the gain of the circuit will not fall below a selected minimum value.
