Abstract

PURPOSE:To divide an image of a controlled system and to synthesize these divided images together in a screen control display state of a monitor camera system and then to operate this system while looking at those images simultaneously on a single screen. CONSTITUTION:A monitor camera system consists of the camera parts 1-1-1-n, the lens parts 2-1-2-n, the motor-driven panhead parts 3-1-3-n, the switch circuits 6 and 7, an operating part 14, a control circuit 13, a screen display circuit 11, and a synthesizing circuit 12. These parts 1-1-1-n, 2-1-2-n and 3-1-3-n are operated by making simultaneous reference to the screen operating contents and the video signals received from the cameras. In this respect, a screen dividing part is added to synthesize an image on a control screen from the video signals received from the cameras. This screen dividing part includes an A/D converter 8, an image memory 9 and a D/A converter 10.

3 and the operation unit 14. The video signal generated by the camera unit 1-n through the lens unit 2-n is input to the switching circuit 6 capable of switching the input of n video signal through the video signal transmission cable unit 4-n. As the video signal input to the video signal switching circuit 6, the video signal selected by the video selection signal input from the operation unit 14 and sent from the control circuit 13 is input to the next video signal switching circuit 7. The video signal switching circuit 7 outputs the video signal A when the screen control such as the control of the lens unit 2-n, the control of the electric pan head 3-n, and the screen control of the camera display interval time is selected by the operation unit 14. / D converter 8, image memory 9,
The screen display signal from the screen display circuit 11 and the operation unit 14 are input to the screen division unit composed of the D / A converter 10.
The image signals of the camera unit 1-n selected by are combined by the combining circuit 12 and output as a screen-controlled image signal. Further, when the screen control is not selected, the video signal is output without the screen combination. Here, FIG. 2 shows an example when the screen control is selected. The menu screen 15 is an example of a screen control state. Multiple video camera units 1-n
When performing operation of the lens unit 2-n such as zooming and focusing of the camera unit or operation of the electric pan head 3-n such as panning and tilting while monitoring at,
When the screen control operation is selected from the operation unit 14, the menu screen 15 which is the screen control content is displayed as shown in FIG. It is divided and reduced and displayed as a composite camera monitor screen 16. Composite camera monitor screen is A
It can be realized by a / D converter, an image memory, and a D / A converter. As a result, the operator of this monitoring system can easily perform screen control without interfering between the screen control operation contents and the control target camera monitor screen.
