JPS60230756A - Electronic script device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the program producing property by displaying the information of a script by a picture on a monitor without using the script, in an electronic script device used for producing a television program. CONSTITUTION:Script data generated by a picture generating part 7 is inputted to a still picture file part 1 and stored. When a readout control part 4 is operated by designating a name of a script and a page, the designated information is read out, written in a picture memory 5, and displayed on a display monitor 3. Also, when an operation for a page feed is executed, information of the designated page is read out of the file part 1, the data of the picture memory 5 is updated, and the next page is displayed on the monitor 3. When a viewfinder of a TV camera and a monitor television for monitoring a program are used as the monitor 3, the script information can be displayed by switching suitably a television picture.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (1) Description of the technical field to which the invention pertains The present invention relates to an electronic script device used for producing television programs.

(2) Description of the Prior Art Conventionally, scripts indicating production procedures at television program production sites have been printed on paper and bound into books. However, for TV cameramen who operate the camera, switchermen who operate the video adjustment equipment, mixermen who operate the audio console, etc., there is not enough space to put the script, and even if there is, The current situation is that the degree of freedom of operation is significantly hindered.

(3) Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention provides an apparatus that does not use a bound script and displays script information on a screen on a monitor.

(4) Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention comprises a still image file section that records all pages of a target script manuscript, and a display section that displays the contents of the script manuscript, and a screen on the display section. A display monitor, a readout control section for reading script information recorded in a still image file section, and a screen memory section for temporarily storing script information read from the still image file section and inputting it to the monitor. This is an electronic script device that is characterized by the following features:

(5) Description of examples Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a still image file section in which all pages of the target script are recorded, and 2 is a display section for displaying script information.

The still image file section 1 is installed in a central monitoring room, etc., and the display section 2 is installed near a cameraman who operates a TV camera, a switcherman who operates a video adjustment device, a mixerman who operates an audio console, etc. be.

The display unit 2 includes a screen display monitor 3 that displays script information on a screen using a CRT, a readout control unit 4 that performs a reading operation of script information recorded in the still image file unit 1, and a readout control unit 4 that reads script information from the still image file unit 1. and a screen memory section 5 for temporarily storing script information and inputting it to the monitor 3.

One or more of the display sections 2 are electrically connected to the still image file section 1.

Note that the monitor 3 of the display unit 2 can be a viewfinder of a TV camera or a monitor for monitoring programs.

That is, it is possible to switch between the television image and the script information image display by time juggling. The still image file unit 1 may be any device as long as it has a function of recording and reproducing all pages of a plurality of types of scripts, and for example, a device using an optical disk file is convenient. 6 is the display section 2
This is a recording control section that receives commands from the readout control section 4 to control recording of the still image file section 1, such as specifying page numbers (addresses) for each screen, and others. An image generation section 7 having, for example, a voice recognition input function, a word processing function, and a graphic screen creation function is connected to the still image file section 1, and the script data created by the image generation section 7 is input to the still image file section 1. and memorize this. When reading script information recorded in the still image file section 1, if the script base and required page are specified and the read control section 4 is operated, the specified information is read out from the still image file section 1. , the information written into the screen memory section 5 and further recorded in the screen memory section 5 is displayed on the display monitor 3. Furthermore, when a page change operation is performed, the information on the designated page is read out from the still image file section 1, the data in the screen memory section 5 is updated, and the next page is displayed on the monitor 3. Of course, operations such as random reading and reverse feeding can also be performed freely. TV as screen display monitor 3
When using a viewfinder of a camera or a television monitor for monitoring programs, the television image is appropriately switched to display script information. At this time, if the data in the screen memory section 3 is updated during the vertical blanking period, screen disturbances will not appear.

(6) Detailed Description of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides that, instead of a printed script that was conventionally issued to each person involved, the information is transmitted to a dedicated monitor, a TV camera's viewfinder, or a program monitoring device. Since the program is displayed on the screen using a television monitor, there is no longer a need for those involved to worry about turning the pages of the script, storing the script, checking the scripted program procedures, and checking the progress of the program. Therefore, the operability of program production can be significantly improved, and at the same time, it is possible to save paper resources by going paperless. In addition, by using the TV camera's viewfinder or TV monitor as the screen display monitor, you can change the screen as needed to check the script information without taking your eyes off the cameraman, switcher, mixer, finder, or TV monitor. Furthermore, according to the present invention, by using an image generation section having a voice recognition function, a word processing function, and a graphic screen creation function, and making full use of these functions,
This has the effect of making it possible to go paperless from the creation of scripts to their display, making it possible to proceed with the production of TV programs more efficiently.
