摘要:
A signal generator generates a control signal for use in tracking control of a VTR. The control signal is a composite signal including a reference signal and timing information of a frame signal and a color frame signal, which is formed by changing the duty ratio of the reference signal, having N times (where N is a natural number larger than 2) the frequency of the frame signal and a first duty ratio, to a second duty ratio at a predetermined position and to a third duty ratio at another position during the period of the color frame signal. A signal separator separates the frame signal and the color frame signal from the reproduced control signal by detecting the first or second duty ratio from the control signal, which is generated from the control signal generator, recorded on and reproduced from a video tape.
摘要:
A three-dimensional image pickup apparatus for capturing a three-dimensional image which includes a left-eye image and a right-eye image includes: a first imaging unit having a first optical system and operable to take the left-eye image; a second imaging unit having a second optical system and operable to take the right-eye image; and a controller operable to control the first imaging unit and the second imaging unit. The first optical system and the second optical system individually include a convergence angle changing unit capable of optically changing a convergence angle and a focal length changing unit capable of optically changing a focal length. The controller, when controlling the focal length changing unit to change the focal length, controls the convergence angle changing unit based on a predetermined constant convergence angle tracking curve to keep the convergence angle constant before and after the change of the focal length.
