Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a television camera handle, and more particularly to a television camera handle device having an illumination device and a display device built therein.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a portable television camera or a studio camera, a display device for displaying the operating state thereof is provided in a part of the television camera. For example, a tally lamp indicating that a recording is in progress was set at a location where the television camera had good visibility, but it was difficult to recognize this from all directions due to its configuration.

Further, the illuminating light is also mounted on the television camera body through the mounting member. Next, the mounting of the illumination light will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

First, FIG. 2 shows a portable television camera 11.
0 is a perspective view, and reference numeral 6 is a housing, reference numeral 1 is a handle, reference numeral 7 is a lens mount portion, reference numeral 8 is a microphone, and reference numeral 9 is a finder portion. The handle 1 is provided with a cover 11 which can be attached and detached with a screw 10. It should be noted that the lens to be mounted on the lens mount portion 7 is omitted in FIG.

The illumination light (not shown) described above is attached to the handle 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the cover 11 provided on the handle 1 is removed by loosening the screw 10, and the light shoe 12 provided inside the cover 11 is removed.
The illumination light is fixed to. Therefore, the light setting operation is also complicated and time-consuming, which greatly impairs the portability of the portable device, and the cover 1 that has been removed.
I had to be careful not to dissipate 1.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to construct a display element for displaying the operating state of a television camera and an illumination light in a compact shape so as to improve the operability and to improve the operating state. It aims to facilitate recognition.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised in view of the above problems, in which at least a part of a handle of a television camera is formed of a light transmissive member, and is formed of a light transmissive member. A light emitting member is provided inside the handle, and a detecting means for detecting the operating state and installation state of the television camera is further provided on the television camera, and the light emitting member is provided inside the handle according to the detection result by the detecting means. It is configured to control the light emission of.

The light emitting member is a tally lamp,
Alternatively, the above-mentioned problem is solved by configuring the light emitting member as a light source for illumination.

Therefore, according to the present invention, a compact shape can be achieved and operability can be improved. Further, since the light of the display element in the handle is emitted in all directions, it is easy to visually recognize. Further, since various sensors are provided in the camera and the display element is driven according to the result, the state of the camera can be easily recognized.

[0010]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a side view of a portable television camera 100, in which a housing 6, a handle 1, a lens mount portion 7,
Although not shown, the microphone, the viewfinder section, etc. described in the conventional example are mounted. It should be noted that the lens to be mounted on the lens mount portion 7 is also omitted in FIG.

The handle 1 according to the present invention is partially or wholly formed of a light-transmissive member, a circuit board 2 is set inside the handle 1, and the circuit board 2 includes a display element 3. An electronic component and a light 4 for illumination are fixed. The display element 3 is a portable TV camera 100.
The operation status of the above is displayed, and for example, a tally lamp indicating that recording is in progress is also included. Here, since the handle 1 is formed of a light transmissive member, the display element 3 can be viewed from all directions.

By incorporating the light 4 for illumination in the handle 1, a compact and highly mobile illumination means can be provided.
It will always be equipped without adding a dedicated structure. In this case, an optical means such as a reflecting mirror or a light-shielding means may be provided so that the illumination light only hits the subject.

Further, various sensors 5 are set in the housing 6 of the portable television camera 100, and the display element 3 is driven according to the detection result of the sensor 5 so that the camera operator can recognize the state of the camera. You can For example, sensor 5
Is used as a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of circuit components and the like, and the result is displayed, or the sensor 5 is used as an angle sensor to detect the tilt of the camera and the display color is changed according to the amount of tilt. Is also possible.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, the display element for displaying the operating state of the television camera and the illuminating light are housed and installed in the handle of the television camera, so that a compact shape can be achieved. Operability is improved.
Further, since the light of the display element in the handle is emitted in all directions, it is easy to visually recognize. Further, since various sensors are provided in the camera and the display element is driven according to the result, the state of the camera can be easily recognized.
