摘要:
An information processing apparatus has a plurality of recording media, and includes an imaging unit operable to capture an image of a subject, and a recording unit operable to record image data of the captured image onto the recording media such that the amounts of recorded image data differ between the recording media. The same image data is recorded onto at least a first recording medium built in the apparatus and a second recording medium removable from the apparatus such that the amount of data recorded on the first medium is smaller than that recorded on the second medium. In this information processing apparatus, a user can view images captured previously with more ease because image data recorded on the first recording medium is sorted by date and is provided to the user in this state.

A standards converter converts an input video signal having time codes from a first television standard to a second television standard. The time codes are separated from the input video signal to obtain hours, minutes, and seconds values and input frame numbers. The hours, minutes, and seconds values are stored in a memory. Output frame numbers are generated in a consecutive sequence, from a first frame number to a last frame number, starting at times that are synchronized with the start of the sequence of input frame numbers. The output frame numbers are combined with the hours, minutes, and seconds values stored in the memory to generate output time codes, which are combined with the converted video signal.

Disclosed is an observation system for military land vehicles, comprising ree television cameras and associated receivers. A first camera is located on a forward area of the vehicle for enabling the driver to view the area in the vehicle path. A second television camera is located in a protected area beneath the main gun; the gunner can use the second camera to train the gun on enemy targets. A third television camera is located at an elevated point on one of the trunnion walls for the main gun; the commander uses the third camera to search out new targets and enemy forces.

A compact television camera readily convertable between indoor and outdoor use having a housing frame with front and rear face and lateral side opening to allow access to the frame's interior upon removal of housing lids placed thereover. The front face includes a mounting unit adapted to be coupled with an indoor or outdoor camera lens of which an outdoor lens with a front heating unit is illustrated. The rear face is provided with an opening to allow plug in of a power source etc., and a mounting device is provided which allows removal and remounting of the camera without problems. In addition, circuit boards are utilized for engagement with the camera elements while so positioned to allow ready access to the cameras interior for conversion, servicing and/or replacement of parts.

During a scanning operation of a camera as the camera moves along its predetermined path, it is occasionally necessary to readjust the iris of the camera due to varying light conditions occurring over a period of time. A control mechanism is incorporated within the lens system of the camera for enabling intermittent automatic adjustment of the iris at one or more predetermined positions along the path of movement of the camera or at preselected time intervals during the scanning operation. A drive motor acts for driving the iris to vary the size of the iris and such drive motor operates in response to signals received from a motor control circuit. In order to generate signals for adjusting the iris the light from the scene being viewed by the camera, e.g. the light passing through the lens, is measured and compared with a predetermined standard. When a difference exists between the light passing through the iris and the predetermined standard, a control signal is provided to the motor control circuit for generating a signal for driving the iris drive motor. However, a switch mechanism is connected to the motor control circuit and the drive motor so as to only allow operation of the drive motor when the switch circuit is in its closed position. An actuating mechanism causes the switching circuit to be closed when the camera is at a predetermined position along the path of movement of the camera or at preselected time intervals during the scanning operation.

A negative to positive image converting apparatus comprising a video camera mounted detachably on one end of a base member, a housing mounted onto and substantially at right angles to the other end of base member, the housing comprising a lamp housing and a mirror housing, a color filter means disposed between the lamp housing and the mirror housing, projecting guide pins for guiding a film holder over an aperture in the mirror housing. In use light is projected through a negative in the film holder and via a mirror in the mirror housing to the video camera. The video camera has a negative to positive inversion switch so that a positive output video signal can be obtained.

A solid-state imaging apparatus has an optical iris and a CCD imaging device which responds to light received from an object for producing a picture signal component and a reference black level signal component. A limiter limits the amplitude of the black level component to less than a predetermined value and the amplitude of the reference black level signal component is higher when the CCD imaging device is receiving such a quantity of light that the electric charges generated by photo-charge conversion in the light-sensitive elements in the CCD imaging device may not overflow from the light-sensitive elements. The limited amplitude is lower than the amplitude of the reference black signal component when the electric charges generated by photo-charge conversion in the light-sensitive elements overflow from the light-sensitive elements. A clamp circuit clamps the output from the CCD imaging device derived after passing through the limiter so that the reference black level signal component may take a predetermined voltage. An iris control circuit responds to the output of the clamp circuit for controlling the optical iris when the electric charges generated by photocharge conversion in the light-sensitive elements in the CCD imaging device have overflown from the light-sensitive elements. The signal level of the reference black level signal component output from the limiter may be restored to the signal level of the reference black level signal component when the electric charges generated by photocharge conversion in the light-sensitive elements in the CCD imaging device do not overflow. The same conditions arises in the reproduced picture, at the moment when an excessively large quantity of light would be received by human eyes. Hence, a viewer of the reproduced picture does not have an unnatural feeling.

A television camera is provided with an automatic gain selecting unit which is responsive to the iris value of the lens attached to the camera. The automatic gain selecting unit includes a comparator for determining when the camera lens-iris operates within a medium "window" range, a counter for counting upwardly or downwardly when the lens-iris operates outside of the window range, and a decoder for outputting a control signal to a gain selecting amplifier to adjust the gain thereof, in response to the operation of the counter.
