Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an image display device for a tourist spot installed on an observatory or the like of a tourist spot.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Traditionally, high-powered binoculars have been installed in the observation decks of tourist areas, etc., so that tourists can enjoy and enjoy the scenery in the distance. This type of binoculars is charged, and the shutter is opened by inserting a coin, and the shutter is automatically closed after a time corresponding to the amount of coin inserted.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, with the conventional binoculars described above, only one person can see through the binoculars, and when multiple people visit a tourist spot, there is a problem that all cannot enjoy together. In addition, when looking through binoculars, the operator must hold the heavy lens barrel in a stable manner by hand so that the image does not shake or move, which poses a problem that the physical burden is large.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a tourist spot which allows a large number of people to view and enjoy the scenery at the same time. An object is to provide a video display device.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention operates a video camera, a monitor for displaying an image captured by the video camera, a coin, a card or the like for a certain period of time to drive and control the video camera. It consists of a control box and a control box.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the present invention, the video camera captures the landscape and the monitor displays the captured image. The control box operates by inserting coins, cards, etc. to drive and control the video camera and enable shooting with the video camera.

[0007]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of an image display device for a tourist spot according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a video camera that captures the surrounding landscape as a subject and converts it into an electrical signal, 2 is a large monitor that reproduces and displays the original visual image of the video signal sent from the video camera 1, Reference numeral 3 is a control box for driving and controlling the video camera 1.

As the video camera 1, one using various image pickup tubes or image pickup elements is used. A CRT, a liquid crystal panel, or the like is used as the large monitor 2. As the lens 4 of the video camera 1, one having an auto focus, an auto iris, and a zoom function is used. Inside the camera stand 5 on which the video camera 1 is installed, a motor drive unit 6 for rotating the video camera 1 vertically and horizontally is housed. By storing the video camera 1 in the housing 7, the video camera 1 is protected from rain, snow, wind, and the like. The large monitor 2 is also installed in the housing 8 and is protected from rain, snow, wind and the like. In this case, the housings 7 and 8 may be one housing, and the video camera 1 and the large screen 2 may be commonly protected.

The control box 3 includes a coin box 11 and an operation panel 12 for the video camera 1. When a predetermined coin C is inserted into the coin slot 11 of the coin box 11, the control box 3 operates to operate the video camera 1. , The coin can be used only for the time corresponding to the amount of coin C. Then, when the operation buttons on the operation panel 12 are operated to take a picture of the surrounding landscape with the video camera 1, the image is displayed on the large monitor 2 and can be viewed by a large number of people.

The operation panel 12 is provided with zoom switching buttons 14a and 14b and camera angle changing buttons 14c to 14f as shown in FIG. 2, but as shown in FIG. 3 instead of the push button system. The joystick system in which the switch is operated by tilting the lever to switch the zoom and change the angle allows the operator to enjoy the operation of the video camera 1 as if playing a game.

Thus, according to the image display device for a tourist destination having such a configuration, since the surrounding landscape is photographed by the video camera 1 and displayed on the large monitor 2, many people are displayed at the same time. You can enjoy the scenery. Also, since the angle of the video camera 1 can be adjusted simply by operating the operation buttons or levers on the operation panel 12, the operator does not need to hold the video camera 1, and the operator himself also has a video. The image on the monitor 2 can be viewed without having to look through the lens of the camera 1.

In the above embodiment, the coin box 11 is provided in the control box 3 and the control box 3 is operated by inserting the coin C to enable photographing and displaying of the scenery, but the present invention is not limited to this. May be operated by. In that case, instead of the coin box 11, a card processing device may be attached similarly to the card-type public telephone.

[0013]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the image display apparatus for a tourist spot according to the present invention, the landscape is photographed by the video camera and the image is displayed on the monitor. Multiple people can watch at the same time.
