摘要:
A thermal-transfer recording method and an apparatus used for this method in which ink on an ink tape is heat-transferred in the form of a mirror image of a desired image to an intermediate recording sheet having a base film and an ink absorbing adhesive layer formed on the base film, and in which the intermediate recording sheet to which the mirror image has been heat-transferred is bonded to a desired recording medium at the surface of the ink absorbing adhesive layer.

A video printer is disclosed. An input video signal is converted into a digital signal and stored in a memory. The write/read operation and memory addresses of the memory are controlled by a memory control unit. The signal read out of the memory is converted into print data, and an image is printed by a printer. The print data and the printing operation are controlled by a print control unit, and at least a part of the memory areas of the memory is controlled in the write operation by an area control unit.

In a video printer, a suffer memory for memorizing picture data corresponding to one line includes a memory addressed by a first address and a second address. And the video printer includes a memory write circuit having a first address generation circuit for generating a first address depending upon gradation of picture data on the basis of inputted picture data and for supplying said first address to the memory and a second address generation circuit for generating an address signal depending upon the number of printing dots of the thermal head and for supplying said address signal to the memory. The video printer also includes a memory read circuit for successively generating the second address for each of the first address and supplying the second address to the memory.
摘要:
A video signal processing circuit for a video printer operating to sample an analog video signal, to convert the video signal into digital data, to store the data in a memory, and to read out the contents of memory to a printer for printing. The circuit includes an oscillation circuit which generates a pixel clock in response to the horizontal sync signal in the video signal, a frequency division phase shift circuit which divides the frequency of the pixel clock provided by the oscillation circuit and shifts the frequency divided clock with the pixel clock, a selection circuit which selects one of frequency divided clocks having different phases provided by the frequency division phase shift circuit, and a selection control circuit which operates on the selection circuit to alter the clock selection at each arrival of vertical sync signal, so that the sampling of the video signal is implemented in response to the clock output of the selection control circuit.

During the playback operation for freezing and storing a specific frame of a picture in a memory and thereafter printing the frame, the recording medium is turned reversely for a prescribed amount according to an instruction from a printer in response to the entry of the freeze command in order to accurately search the frame at the entry of the freeze, and thereafter the recording medium is played back in normal mode. The amounts of reverse turn and the successive forward turn in normal playback are counted and compared, and when the difference has become a prescribed value, a freeze signal is produced and the frame of the picture selected by the freeze command is stored in the memory and printed when required. This control method for use in a video print system is designed so that the recording medium is turned reversely for a prescribed amount according to an instruction from the printer and then stopped until the next command is entered.

White balance adjusting apparatus for controlling the levels among RGB signals of the video signals and adjusting the white balance of the video image is provided in a color video printer apparatus which receives the video signals and prints out. Prior to color printing, the white balance is adjusted, thereby enabling a good color reproduction to be obtained.
摘要:
Disclosed is a video image printer for printing a video image of an input video signal onto a printing paper, in which a medium, such as a magnetic sheet disc or magnetic tape for a video cassette recorder, capable of recording/reproducing the information of the video image is employed. In order to obtain a reproduced video signal from the recording/reproducing medium with normal-operation, the video image printer is provided with a mechanical vibration-absorbing mechanism and an electrical reproduced signal correction circuit. Depending upon the requirements of the situation, a plurality of recording/reproducing heads are provided so as to make it possible to record a video image to be printed on the recording/reproducing medium during the printing operation of a previously selected video image.
摘要:
A video printer having color signal interpolation circuit including a first memory which stores a color signal requiring the largest amount of information among signal of three primary colors in a video signal, a second memory which stores both of the other two color signals sampled alternately, and a data interpolation circuit with a signal edge detecting part and signal level detecting part and which reproduces the other two color signals on the basis of the signals stored in the second memory by interpolation. Color signals delivered from the first memory and the data interpolation circuit are successively sent to the printer so as to be printed.
