When the camcorder key matrix unit 24 switches to the VCR mode by pressing the VCR mode switch not shown in the drawing, and then selects a broadcast channel to be recorded using the channel up / down keys of the camcorder key block matrix unit, the camcorder control unit 20 Outputs the channel data and the control signal to the TV station terminal section 44 which is connected to the camcorder station terminal section 26. FIG.

The TV station terminal unit 44 which has received the tuner selection control signal transmits a control signal to the TV control unit 36. The TV control unit 36 controls the tuner unit 30 according to the tuner selection control signal transmitted from the camcorder control unit 20 to select a desired broadcast channel. The broadcast channel selected by the tuner 30 is signal-processed by the TV signal processor 32 to display the video signal of the broadcast channel on the display 38, and the TV station 44 and the TV signal terminal 46. To apply.

The video signal of the broadcast channel is output to the camcorder control unit 20 through the station terminal unit 34 connected to the TV station terminal unit 44. The camcorder controller 20 controls the video signal of the broadcast channel and outputs it to the camcorder signal processor 18. The camcorder signal processing unit 18 processes the video signal of the broadcast channel, which is output, to the EVF unit 22, and the EVF unit 22 displays the video signal of the broadcast channel.

In addition, the camcorder signal processing unit 18 outputs the video signal of the broadcast channel, which has been processed, to the deck unit 14, and the deck unit 14 records the video signal of the broadcast channel.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of refresh and battery pack charging according to the present invention.

In step 300, a refresh key (not shown) in the camcorder key matrix unit 24 is pressed to confirm whether there is no input, and the process proceeds to step 330 when there is no input, and when there is an input of the refresh key, step 310 is performed. The battery pack charging unit 34 performs a refresh on the battery pack in step 310 and proceeds to step 320. In step 320, the camcorder controller 20 checks whether the battery pack voltage of the battery pack unit 16 has fallen to the set voltage value, and when the voltage exceeds the set voltage, the camcorder controller 20 proceeds to step 310 and controls to continue the refresh function.

If the battery pack voltage of the battery pack 16 drops to the set voltage value in step 320, the process proceeds to step 330. In step 330, the DC voltage supplied from the battery pack charging unit 34 is applied to the battery pack unit 16 through the camcorder station terminal unit 26 under the control of the camcorder controller 20 to perform charging. do. In step 340, the camcorder control unit 20 checks whether the battery pack voltage of the battery pack 16 is the end of charging voltage, and if it is not the end of charging voltage, the camcorder controller 20 proceeds to step 330 to control to continue charging.

In operation 340, when the battery pack voltage of the battery pack unit 16 is a full charge voltage, the charging of the battery pack unit 16 is terminated.

In addition, the battery charging terminal unit 42 is equipped with only the battery pack (not shown) of the battery pack unit 16 separately, and when the refresh and charging commands are input from the TV key matrix unit 40, the battery pack charging unit 34 is provided by the TV control unit 36. ) To refresh and charge.

5 is a flowchart for explaining an embodiment of TV broadcast reception and reservation recording setting of a station type camcorder system connected to a station type TV according to the present invention.

In step 400, the camcorder control unit 20 checks whether the mode currently set in the camcorder is in the VCR mode. If the mode is not in the VCR mode, the routine is terminated. If the reserved recording mode is checked, the process proceeds to step 470, after selecting the reserved recording data, the reserved data is stored in the memory of the camcorder control unit 20 and then terminated.

On the other hand, if it is confirmed in step 410 not the reserved cotton mode proceeds to step 420. In step 420, if there is an input from the channel up / down keys in the camcorder key matrix unit 24, the channel data currently selected is set in step 430, and then step 450 is performed. If there is an input of the channel up / down key in step 420, the flow proceeds to step 440. In step 440, the channel data inputted from the channel up / down key is set, and the process proceeds to step 450. In operation 450, the camcorder controller 20 outputs channel data to the TV controller 36. In step 460, the TV control unit 36 outputs a control signal to the tuner unit 30 to select a channel to perform a TV broadcast reception and reservation recording setting function.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining an embodiment of reservation recording in the station type camcorder system connected to the station type TV according to the present invention.

In step 500, the camcorder control unit 20 confirms whether the reserved recording standby mode is completed. If not, the process ends at step 500 and proceeds to step 510 in the reserved recording standby mode. In step 510, if the current time is not the reservation start time, the process ends if it is not. If the reservation start time is reached, step 520 is performed. In step 520, recording is performed after automatically setting the designated recording channel, and the flow proceeds to step 530. In step 530, if it is determined whether the current time is the reservation end time, the process proceeds to step 520, and continues to perform the reservation recording. In step 540, the scheduled recording is terminated and the power is turned off to perform the reserved recording function.

As described above, since the present invention performs the replacement of a redundant function among the functions of a conventional independent camcorder station in the tuner part of the TV and the control unit of the camcorder, the cost is significantly reduced compared to the above-mentioned station. There is no inconvenience in connecting cables to each other, and the station type camcorder is simply mounted on the top of the station type TV so that reservation recording, recording and playback of broadcasting channels, and refreshing and charging of the battery pack can be done easily with the switch installed in the camcorder. I can operate it.
