On the other hand, in the monitor device 8, the liquid crystal display 13 has a T
The behind-the-scenes scenery that the V camera 4 is photographing is displayed.
Here, the operator moves the entire TV camera device 1 so that the TV camera 4 faces the inspection target while watching the screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 13. When the inspection object is projected on the screen in a small size, the focus switch SWd is operated to switch the focal point of the optical system of the TV camera 4 to the telephoto side so that the inspection object is brought up on the screen. . In this case, when the changeover switch SWd is turned on, "H" is set.
When the signal is turned off, an “L” signal is sent from the monitor device 8 to the TV camera device 1 via the signal line in the cable 9. The TV camera 4 has a function of switching the focal length of the lens on the basis of the switching signal.
On the H ") side, the focal length is long, and conversely, wide angle (" L ")
On the side, it operates to shorten the focal length. In this way, the operator can check the state of the inspection object on the screen of the inspection object displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 13 of the monitor device 8.

Here, in order to make it easy for the worker to see the screen of the liquid crystal display 13 of the monitor device 8, the liquid crystal display 13 is rotated so that the screen matches the line of sight of the worker. When the density of the screen is changed, the adjusting knob 22a of the density adjuster 22
Can be operated, and a screen having a desired density can be set by this operation. Further, when it is desired to know the distance to the position of the inspection object which is projected in the center of the screen and is in focus, the distance display switch SWc may be turned on. In this case, the distance information processing circuit 15 Works to display the distance data on the screen as numbers (a).

In order to further check the condition under the floor, for example, the occurrence of termites, the minimum opening 33 opened in the floor plate Z is to be checked.
If the tip of the rod 3 of the TV camera device 1 is inserted and the TV camera 4 and the illumination lamp 5 at the tip are directed toward the object to be inspected, the liquid crystal display 13 of the monitor device 8 is inspected in the same manner as the inspection under the ceiling. You can check on the screen. In the above embodiment, the TV camera device 1 and the monitor device 8 are connected by a cable 9, power is supplied from the monitor device 8 to the TV camera device 1, and video signals are transmitted from the TV camera device 1 to the monitor device 8 by wire. Although a battery for powering the entire TV camera device 1 including the power of the illumination lamp 5 is built in the TV camera device 1, the video signal output from the TV camera 4 is transmitted wirelessly. In the monitor device 8, the wirelessly transmitted video signal is received and reproduced by the wireless receiver, and the reproduced video signal is processed by the image processing circuit and displayed on the liquid crystal display in the monitor device 8. You may do it. In this case, not only the video signal but also the distance information and the information about the remaining capacity of the battery on the TV camera device 1 side may be transmitted and displayed on the monitor device 8 side. Since the monitor device 8 is completely separated from the TV camera device 1 by using wireless as described above, inspection and confirmation can be performed at a position away from the TV camera device 1. If a UHF band or VHF band frequency is used as the wireless transmitter and the signal is transmitted in the same signal format as general television broadcasting, the monitor device 8 is a portable liquid crystal television receiver capable of receiving general television broadcasting. Can also be used.
