DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing a system for supplying a video signal to an image display device provided corresponding to a pachinko machine according to the present invention. The video / audio output device 1 provided in the control room of the pachinko parlor includes a video reproducing device such as a video tape recorder and a broadcast video receiving device (not shown), and a composite video signal from these devices (this embodiment). In this case, the output is controlled as an NTSC video signal) and an audio signal. Note that, in the following description, for convenience, only a mode of supplying a video signal will be described, but an audio signal can also be supplied in a similar mode.

The first signal distributor 2 is connected to the video / audio output device 1 by an optical fiber 3, and is transmitted from the video / audio output device 1 to the NTSC via the optical fiber 3.
A video signal is input, and an NTSC video signal is distributed and output from each terminal of the distribution terminal group 2a.

The second signal distributor 4 is installed in the pachinko hall. The second signal distributor 4 is connected to one terminal of the distribution terminal group 2 a in the first signal distributor 2 by an optical fiber 5, and from the first signal distributor 2 via the optical fiber 5. An NTSC video signal is input, and NTS signals are transmitted from each terminal of the distribution terminal group 4a.
The C video signal is distributed and output.

The third signal distributor 6 is connected to each pachinko island (FIG. 3).
(See the following description based on the above). The third signal distributors 6 are connected to the terminals of the distribution terminal group 4a of the second signal distributor 4 by optical fibers 7, respectively. An NTSC video signal is input, and an NTSC video signal is output from each of the distribution terminal groups 6a via the coaxial cables 8.

Each coaxial cable 8 has a total of five image display devices 12 provided on each of five pachinko machines 11.
… Are connected to the series. That is, these five image display devices 12 are provided with a video signal input terminal (not shown) and a video signal output terminal through which a received video signal is passed, and the first image display device 12a The NTSC video signal is directly input from the distributor 6 and the NTSC video signal is through-out, and the second image display device 12b is connected to the first image display device 12a by N
The TSC video signal is input and the NTSC video signal is passed through, and the third image display device 12 c
The NTSC video signal is input from the image display device 12b of the first embodiment, and the NTSC video signal is through-out.
The image display device 12d receives the NTSC video signal from the third image display device 12c and passes through the NTSC video signal, and the fifth image display device 12e transmits the NTSC video signal from the fourth image display device 12d. To be entered.

As shown in FIG. 2, each of the image display devices 12 separates the NTSC signal input from the video input terminal 120e into a Y signal and a C signal by a Y / C separation circuit 120a, and the image quality correction circuit 120b The Y signal and C signal that have passed through
The RGB matrix circuit 120c outputs the R, G, and B signals from the RGB matrix circuit 120c. The synchronization separation circuit 120d separates the H signal and the V signal from the video signal and outputs the H signal and the V signal. The liquid crystal drive circuit 120f receives the R, G, B signals, the H signal, and the V signal, and drives the liquid crystal panel 120g based on these signals.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a schematic external configuration of a system for supplying a video signal to an image display device provided corresponding to a pachinko machine according to the present invention. Multiple pachinko machines 1
Are arranged in the horizontal direction, and a group of the pachinko tables 11 arranged on the back side of the pachinko tables 11 is also called a pachinko island. Each pachinko machine 11 on pachinko island
The image display device 12 described above is installed at an upper position of. The image display device 12 receives the NTSC video signal via the coaxial cable 8 and displays a video on a screen. In FIG. 3, for convenience of explanation, the coaxial cable 8 is drawn so as to pass above the pachinko island, but actually, the coaxial cable 8 is made to pass through the pachinko island.

With the above configuration, the coaxial cable 8 is connected from the third signal distributor 6 provided on each pachinko island to the first image display device 12a of the pachinko machine 11 provided near the pachinko machine. Wiring is performed, and the coaxial cable 8 is wired from the first image display device 12a to the second image display device 12b of the adjacent pachinko machine 11.
Since the wiring of the coaxial cable 8 can be performed from the image display device 12b to the third image display device 12c of the further adjacent pachinko machine 11, the wiring can be performed.
As in the prior art, it is possible to eliminate an increase in wiring cost and inefficiency in wiring work when wiring is individually performed from a signal distributor to a plurality of image display devices. Further, although the inside of the pachinko island is narrow, the wiring work can be performed more easily than before in the narrow case with the above configuration.

In this embodiment, the NTSC signal is used as the composite video signal. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a PAL video signal or the like may be used. Further, for example, a composite video signal is used as a video signal up to the third signal distributor 6, and the composite video signal is
The signals may be converted into signals (composed of R, G, B signals, H signals, and V signals), and the RGB signals may be supplied to the image display devices 12a to 12e in series using five wires. It is. In this case, while the third signal distributor 6 has the video signal conversion circuit configuration shown in FIG.
Each image display device may be configured to directly drive a display screen from RGB signals. Further, in this embodiment, the image display device is configured using a liquid crystal panel, but is not limited thereto, and may be configured using a CRT or the like.

Further, in this embodiment, the number of image display devices connected to the series is five. However, this is because the number of image display devices connected later in the series when video signals are supplied is higher. This is in view of the fact that the display image is likely to deteriorate, and the number of connected devices is determined in relation to the degree of deterioration of the display image. Further, the video signal supply system of the present invention can be used for supplying a video signal to an image display device provided in a game machine other than a pachinko machine.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention, the cost of wiring and the efficiency of wiring work can be reduced. In particular, in a video signal supply system to an image display device provided on a pachinko machine, there is an effect that wiring work can be efficiently performed even in a narrow pachinko island.
