Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a video camera device used for recording images on a video tape recorder.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a video camera has been used to cause a video tape recorder to record data, and it is possible to switch the video tape recorder to a recording state in the video camera. However, conventional video cameras do not have a function other than switching to the recording state, and for example, if you want to play back the recorded signal or want to record it again, you must operate the video tape recorder. , and lacked maneuverability. For this reason, it is conceivable to provide the video camera with other control functions for the video tape recorder, but this would mean installing the same device for the video tape recorder and the video camera.
This would be extremely uneconomical.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and is intended to improve the mobility of the video camera by making it possible to attach the remote control device of the video tape recorder to the video camera.

This invention will be explained below with reference to a figure which is an example.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a video camera for converting images into electrical signals, and is composed of a main body 2 housing an optical system and an electric circuit, and a U-shaped handle 3 for supporting the main body 2. and this handle 3
A through hole 3a is formed on the free end side of the through hole 3a, and a recess 3b is formed in the inner wall of the through hole 3a, as shown in FIG. Reference numeral 4 indicates a cable for supplying signals from the video camera 1 to the video tape recorder, and 5 indicates a remote control device attached to control various functions of the video tape recorder, which is connected to the video tape recorder via a cable 6. Further, on the back surface of the remote control device 5, a projection 5 that engages with the recess 3b of the through hole 3a is provided.
A is provided.

That is, when the remote control device 5 is inserted into the through hole 3a and the tip is aligned with the recess 3c, the protrusion 5a fits into the recess 3b, and the remote control device 5
can be fixed to the handle 3 of the video camera 1. Therefore, it is possible to control rewinding, playback, fast forwarding, recording, etc. of the video tape recorder while carrying the video camera 1, and it is possible to quickly operate the video camera 1, such as when re-recording. becomes. Moreover, it is economical without adding the remote control device 5.

Note that some video cameras 1 use black-and-white cathode ray tubes for the viewfinder, and if it is possible to reproduce recorded signals using this, the effectiveness of this invention will be even greater.

3 and 4 show other embodiments of this invention. In the figures, a remote control device 5 is formed with a connection terminal 5b, which is connected to a connector 6a provided at the end of a cable 6. It is configured as follows. In addition, a connector 3d equivalent to the connector 6a is arranged in the recess 3c of the handle 3, and the video camera 1
It is configured to be electrically connected to. That is, when the video camera 1 is not used, it is connected to a video tape recorder using the cable 6, and when the video camera 1 is used, it is connected to the connector 3d on the handle 3 side, and the video tape recorder is controlled through the cable 4. It becomes possible to do so.

Note that in the above embodiment, the remote control device 5
Although the projection 5a is formed on the remote control device 5a and the projection 5a is engaged with the recess 3b of the handle 3, it is also possible to form a recess on the remote control device 5a and a projection on the handle 3. It may also be configured to be locked in place. Furthermore, the remote control device 5 is connected to the main body 2.
It may be configured to be fixed to the outer circumferential surface such as the upper surface of the unit, and it can be similarly implemented in a wireless remote control device such as an optical remote control.

As explained above, according to this invention, it is possible to control the video tape recorder while carrying the video camera, which dramatically improves the operability of the video camera.Moreover, it is an economical device. The practical value of this invention is extremely large.
