    摘要: A method for transmitting data when a system detects the amount of data which can be transferred, and divides the data to be transferred into a plurality of data blocks to form a list. A transfer device refers to the list and carries out input and output processing between a VTR or a network and a memory. Thus, the data can be efficiently transmitted at high speed with high reliability and independent of system configuration. Additionally, the data can be rearranged in the course of its transmission.

    摘要: A controller issues a command to an HDD interface to transfer AV data stored in HDDs to a memory. The HDD interface, in compliance with the command, transfers the AV data stored in the HDDs to a memory mapped on a bus. A memory controller reads the AV data out of the bus, and writes the AV data into the memory. The controller outputs the address of the AV data to be outputted to the memory controller. The memory controller reads out the AV data of the designated address, and outputs them to an AV data output interface. And the AV data output interface outputs the AV data. The controller issues a command to the HDD interface memory to record the AV data stored in the memory into the HDDs. The HDD interface, in compliance with the command, reads the data out of a memory mapped on the bus, and stores them in the HDDs. The memory controller reads the AV data out of the memory, and outputs them to the bus. At the same time, the controller designates to the memory controller the address in the memory into which the AV data inputted from the AV data input interface are to be written. The memory controller reads the AV data out of the AV data input interface, and writes them into the designated memory. By accomplishing this series of actions in synchronism with the frame period, AV data are stored in the HDDs, and also AV data stored in the HDDs are outputted.

    摘要: Deflection control apparatus for registering the electron beam, rasters of electrostatic-deflection pick-up tubes of a three-tube color television camera includes a compensating voltage generator with inputs connected to receive horizontal and vertical sawtooth deflection signals provided from a deflection signal generator, and outputs providing compensating voltages to adjust for size, skew, and rotation. A combining circuit is provided to add the deflecting signals to the respective compensating voltages to generate adjusted compensating voltages for application to respective electrostatic deflection plates of certain ones of the tubes. For each adjusted deflecting signal, the combining circuit includes a transistor circuit having an input electrode coupled to receive the associated compensating voltage and an output electrode connected through a load resistor to an output of the deflecting signal generator. A pair of SEPP-arranged transistors are provided with their bases connected to the output electrode of the transistor circuit and with their emitters coupled together, through like-value emitter resistors, to a respective deflection plate of one of the tubes. The SEPP-configured transistors permit a high impedance to be presented to the deflection signal generator to minimize the power consumption thereof, and a low resistance to be presented to the deflection plates, to keep the latter from undesirably integrating the deflection sawtooth voltages.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus and an image processing method permit easy adjustment of luminance and contrast, and also permit easy check of the brightness of a target image. A signal format of an image signal is determined by a determiner circuit, and an image signal of a luminance reference image that provides the standard for determining luminance is generated by a luminance reference signal generator circuit on the basis of a result of the determination. A mixing circuit generates an image signal for displaying a target image combined with a luminance reference image. The signal level of the image signal is adjusted by an adjusting circuit so as to adjust luminance and/or contrast. A discrimination display signal superimposing circuit generates a signal of a luminance identifying image superimposed in a desired luminance area. From the luminance reference image, the brightness at a desired position on an image can be easily checked.

    摘要: A camcorder (100), which is an example of image capturing devices, includes the following units. An imaging unit (110) captures moving pictures. An attribute information generation unit (120) generates attribute information indicating features of the moving pictures captured by the imaging unit (110). An evaluation unit (130) applies the attribute information generated by the attribute information generation unit (120) to a predetermined criterion, so as to calculate an evaluation value of the moving pictures for each predetermined time width. A still picture extraction unit (140) extracts a still picture from moving pictures in a predetermined time width, when the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit (130) for the predetermined time width exceeds an evaluation threshold value. A threshold value change unit (150) changes the evaluation threshold value based on at least one of person information and a composition change amount which are included in the attribute information. The person information is used for specifying a person captured in the moving pictures, and the composition change amount is an amount of change in image compositions between the moving pictures.
