Then, as shown in Figure 5, the pre-process circuit 42 of camera control unit 12 will output to signal processing circuit 43_1,43_2,43_3 from transfer circuit vision signal S34_1, S34_2, S34_3 41 inputs, that constitute vision signal S34.
In addition, add circuit 71 will be from vision signal S34_1, S34_2, S34_3 addition transfer circuit input, that constitute vision signal S34, thereby generates the vision signal S42 of standard speed, and it is outputed to signal processing circuit 45.
In addition, signal processing circuit 43_1,43_2,43_3 handle vision signal S34_1, S34_2, S34_3, improve and compression etc. with the quality that is used to be scheduled to, thereby generate vision signal S43_1, S43_2, S43_3, and they are outputed to VTR/ change over switch 14 as vision signal S12.
Parallel therewith, 45 pairs of vision signals from the standard speed of pre-process circuit 42 inputs of signal processing circuit are handled, improve and compression etc. with the quality that is used to be scheduled to, thereby generate vision signal S45 and this signal is outputed to VTR/ change over switch 14 as vision signal S12.
Then, under the situation of 3 times of speed video outputs, shown in Fig. 6 B, 14 couples of vision signal S43_1, S43_2, S43_3 from signal processing circuit 43_1,43_2,43_3 input of VTR/ change over switch switch, and export the vision signal S14 of 3 times of speed.
On the other hand, under the situation of standard speed video output, shown in Fig. 6 C, VTR/ change over switch 14 will be output as the vision signal S14 of standard speed by vision signal S43_1, S43_2, S43_3 from signal processing circuit input being carried out vision signal S45 that addition obtains.
As mentioned above, in camera chain 1, as shown in Figure 4, video camera 10 shown in Figure 3 rearrange circuit 64 according to vision signal S31 shown in Fig. 4 A, that take with 3 times of speed, generate vision signal S34_1, S34_2, the S34_3 of 1 times of speed of three systems, and send it to camera control unit 12 according to their timing.
In addition, camera control unit 12 carries out parallel processing at signal processing circuit 43_1 shown in Figure 2,43_2,43_3 place to vision signal S34_1, S34_2, the S34_3 that receives from video camera 10.
Thus, camera control unit 12 can be handled the vision signal of taking with 3 times of speed at short notice.
In addition, in camera chain 1,62 pairs of digital video signals from 61 inputs of A/D change-over circuit of the signal processing circuit of video camera 10 shown in Figure 3 are handled, to be used for gain controlling, automatic sawtooth level detection or other FEEDBACK CONTROL.
In addition, the signal processing circuit 43_1 of camera control unit 12,43_2,43_3 carry out Knee processing, gamma correction or processing such as other predetermined quality raising and compression to vision signal S34_1, S34_2, S34_3.
Thus, for example, when the vision signal addition of the add circuit 71 of pre-process circuit shown in Figure 5 42 with described three systems, thereby when generating the standard speed vision signal, shown in Fig. 7 B and 7C, can be with they additions under the state that does not carry out image processing, and therefore can avoid descending as the quality of reference Fig. 9 explanation.
In addition, in camera chain 1, the image processing that is used to improve the quality is not to be carried out by video camera 10, but is carried out by camera control unit 12, thereby can reduce the treating capacity and the power consumption of video camera 10.The HD signal of data volume than the big several times of SD is being used as under the situation of vision signal, and this effect is especially remarkable.
In camera chain 1, the picture data that video camera 10 will generate at image device 31 places temporarily is stored in the buffer storage 32, then it is read and display image on view finder 33.For this reason, even when not setting up communication linkage between video camera 10 and the camera control unit 12, still can on view finder 33, show the image of taking.Thus, can make system's setting more effective.
In addition, view finder 33 can almost not have display image under the situation about postponing, and can follow the tracks of and show the image of the object of high-speed mobile.
In camera chain 1, can under the situation of the shooting speed that does not change image device 31, in VTR/ change over switch 14, change the speed of vision signal S14.Thus, the operation control to image device 31 becomes simple.
In camera chain 1, video camera 10 generates vision signal S34_1, S34_2, the S34_3 of the accurate speed of three road signs according to the vision signal S31 of high-speed capture, and they are sent to camera control unit 12.In addition, camera control unit 12 is at signal processing circuit 43_1,43_2,43_3 place, vision signal S34_1, S34_2, S34_3 to the accurate speed of three road signs handles according to parallel mode, then the result switched and exported, thereby export the vision signal of 3 times of speed.
Thus, can constantly handle with standard speed, and can make the circuit arrangement simple and inexpensive vision signal S34_1, S34_2, S34_3.
In addition, in camera chain 1, video camera 10 generates vision signal S34_1, S34_2, the S34_3 of the accurate speed of three road signs, so camera control unit 12 needn't have large scale memory.Will compare with SD data volume be the HD image of several times as under the situation of vision signal, this effect is especially remarkable.
In addition, in camera chain 1, can be with common signal processing circuit as signal processing circuit 43_1,43_2,43_3, therefore, even image taking speed is increased to 3 times (three times) or bigger, just can be handled this by only increasing same signal processing circuit.
In addition, in camera chain 1, not to compressing to the vision signal that camera control unit 12 sends from video camera 10, therefore, vision signal that can outputting high quality.
In addition, in camera chain 1,, therefore high-quality video can be output as the standard speed video by before handling, carrying out the vision signal that addition generates standard speed by 45 pairs of camera signals of signal processing circuit.Like this, because the standard speed video is high-quality, the imaging video camera that can be used as standard speed uses, and not only uses as the high speed imaging video camera.
Past, high-speed video and standard speed video can be exported simultaneously, therefore, high speed imaging and two required roads that separate of standard speed imaging can be combined into one the tunnel.
