Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a three-dimensional video camera recorder having a function of allowing a video camera body to perform binocular stereoscopic viewing and a function of recording and reproducing left and right moving images on a magnetic tape in a recorder body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a subject can be stereoscopically viewed as an integral type,
There was no video camera recorder that could record and play back.

[0003]

Conventionally, since a video camera recorder is not of a left-right integrated type, it has not been possible to perform binocular stereoscopic viewing. Further, even when a moving image is recorded and reproduced, stereoscopic viewing cannot be performed. The present invention is provided to solve these disadvantages.

[0004]

A video camera section having an objective lens is provided on the front left and right of a box-shaped stereoscopic video camera body, and an electronic viewfinder section is provided on the rear left and right. The electronic viewfinder parts are arranged on the respective center lines, these are arranged symmetrically, an adjustment screw is provided in the middle part of the left and right video camera parts, and a battery storage part is provided below the left and right electronic viewfinder parts. , A power switch, a zoom lever, a recording button and a finder button, which can be operated simultaneously, are provided in the middle part.
Further, a recorder main body is separately provided, and a cable is provided between the stereoscopic video camera main body and the recorder main body. The left and right recorder sections are provided with a tape cassette containing a magnetic tape, and one of the recorder sections is provided with an operation section having a button switch that can operate simultaneously. The present invention is a stereoscopic video camera recorder configured as described above.

[0005]

[Function] A video camera section provided with an objective lens is provided on the front left and right of a box-shaped stereoscopic video camera body, and on the rear left and right,
An electronic viewfinder unit is provided, the left and right video camera units and the left and right electronic viewfinder units are arranged on their respective center lines, these are arranged symmetrically, and the distance between the center lines of the left and right electronic viewfinder units is adjusted. Adjusted, an adjustment screw is provided in the middle part of the left and right video camera parts at the position where binocular stereoscopic viewing is possible, so fix it and see the stereoscopic image by looking at the left and right electronic viewfinder parts. it can. Separately, recorder sections are provided on the left and right sides of the recorder main body, these are arranged symmetrically, and a cable is provided between the video camera main body and the recorder main body. Since the recorder sections are arranged on the left and right, the left and right moving images can be recorded on the magnetic tape. By playing back the recorded left and right magnetic tapes simultaneously, a stereoscopic image can be seen by looking into the left and right electronic viewfinder units.

[0006]

Also, a power switch 5 that can be operated at the same time at an intermediate portion between the left and right electronic finder portions 3 and 3a,
Zoom lever 10) Record button 8 and Finder button 7
Is provided. Separately, recorder units 14 and 14a are provided on the left and right sides of the recorder main body 12, these are arranged symmetrically, and an operation unit 16 having a button switch is provided on one recorder unit 14a, and the three-dimensional video camera body 1 and the recorder main body 12 are provided. Is provided between them. When the present invention is used in the above structure, when the power switch 6 is switched to the position of the camera and the finder button 7 is pressed,
The left and right video camera units 2 and 2a operate simultaneously, and the optical image of the subject captured by the left and right objective lenses 4 and 4a is converted from an optical signal into an electric signal by a CCD (not shown) (not shown). Left and right electronic view finders 3,3
An image is displayed on a liquid crystal display (not shown) in a,
The user can look into the left and right electronic viewfinder sections 3 and 3a, adjust the distance between the center lines, and fix the adjustment screw 6 at a position where binocular stereoscopic viewing is possible, so that a stereoscopic image can be viewed. This three-dimensional image is recorded on the magnetic tape 1 of the
When the recording button 8 is pressed to record on the 5, 5a, the left and right recorder sections 14, 14a are simultaneously activated, and the optical image of the subject captured by the objective lenses 4, 4a is converted from the optical signal into a CCD (imaging element). ) (Not shown), and is converted into an electric signal, which is recorded on the magnetic tapes 15, 15a of the tape cassettes 17, 17a via rotating drums (not shown) provided on the right and left recorder sections 14, 14a. You. Voice is also recorded. To stop recording, the recording button 8 can be pressed again. Also,
When playing back the recorded magnetic tapes 15 and 15a to view a stereoscopic image, switch the power switch 5 to the video position and press the rewind button of the operation unit 16 of one of the recorder units 14a. Tape 15, 15a
When the play button is pressed next, the left and right magnetic tapes 15 and 15a are simultaneously activated, and a stereoscopic image can be viewed by looking into the left and right electronic viewfinder units 3 and 3a.
