The switch group of the operation panel of the RCP 10 will be briefly described. As a control unit of the optical system, a joystick device 11 is provided, and an iris auto switch 11a is provided in the vicinity thereof to adjust a lens iris (iris). Is provided. As a control unit of the filter system, a switch group 12 for switching a filter (color temperature conversion filter, ND filter, light effect filter) installed on the optical axis of the lens is provided. A display 13 is provided for displaying the selected filter type when these filters are switched. The display 13 is a liquid crystal touch panel, and is a multi-display from which various software settings can be made. The video signal processing system is provided with a switch group 14 for performing operations such as gun marker correction, knee, gain, pedestal, flare, and detail. Further, the operation panel 10b is provided with a CAM power switch 15, an alarm indicator lamp 16, and the like. Mechanical parts and circuit parts on the back side of the operation panel 10b are housed and attached in the housing 10a, and a connector group 19 for connecting to a video camera or the like is provided on the housing 10a. The RCP 10 has a housing 10a inserted into an operation panel in a studio adjustment room or a relay car and fixed to the operation panel by mounting ears 17 and 18, and a plurality of RCPs 10 are juxtaposed.

A partition member 20 is provided at the edge of one side wall of the operation panel 10b. Incidentally, the display 13 is configured such that its rear portion is slightly raised from the front and is inclined so that the operator can easily see it. The partition member 20 is flush with the operation surface 10b along the inclination. The side part of the partition member 20 is in contact with the side wall of the operation surface 10b, and the bottom part of the partition member 20 is in contact with the housing 10a. The partition member 20 is, for example, a colored acrylic plate, and a member having a color different from the color of the operation panel 10b is selected, and a member that easily distinguishes each RCP 10 when a plurality of RCPs 10 are juxtaposed on the operation panel is used. Moreover, the partition member 20 may use a transparent acrylic plate that is a light guide plate, perform color printing on the bottom and sides excluding the same surface as the operation panel 10b, and further perform black printing. Furthermore, the upper plate portion 21 may use the same kind of acrylic plate as that of the partition member 20. Further, the partition member 20 may be provided on both side walls of the operation panel 10b, or may be provided on the upper and lower portions of the operation panel 10b so as to be distinguished from other RCPs 10. Moreover, you may use the partition member 20 which disperse | distributed the fluorescent paint in transparent resin.

Next, another form of the partition member 20 will be described. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the partition member 20 is made of the acrylic plate shown in FIG. 1, and an inclined surface is formed so that the bottom portion is the reflecting surface 20a, and the silver print layer 20b is formed on the inclined surface. Further, black printing 20c is provided. A printed circuit board 22 on which a light emitting diode 23 is mounted is disposed immediately below the side of the operation panel 10 b, and the operation panel 10 b is in contact with the partition member 20 . FIG. 3 is an assembly view of the partition member 20. The partition member 20 is integrated with the upper plate portion 21, and a light emitting diode 23 is mounted on the side wall portion of the operation panel 10 b. When the light emitting diode 23 is turned on, as shown in FIG. 2B, the light is reflected by the reflecting surface 20a, and the reflected light is emitted from the surface of the partition member 20 on the operation panel 10b side. The light from the light emitting diode 23 is diffusely reflected within the partition member 20, and the partition member 20 serves as a light guide, and the light is emitted from the entire panel surface side of the partition member 20. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the light emitting diode 23 is Ru provided places 2-3.

  The light-emitting diode 23 uses, for example, red and green light-emitting diodes as light sources, and controls the amount of current supplied to the red light-emitting diode and the green light-emitting diode by the light emission color variable means, thereby controlling the light emission amount of each light-emitting diode. In addition to red and green, yellow or intermediate colors can be developed. Therefore, by making the partition member 20 of each RCP 10 develop a different color, each RCP 10 can be easily distinguished, and the operator can operate the RCP of the video camera to be operated without mistaking it. Of course, red, green and blue light emitting diodes may be used as the light source.
