Abstract

PURPOSE:To set a lens aperture mechanism in the best state for the brightness of a subject, by optionally turning on and off a circuit successding a peak value rectifying circuit through a changeover switching means. CONSTITUTION:When a subject with uniform brightness is shot while a changeover switch SW is turned off, the 1st reference voltage adequate to obtain a rated output signal is applied to video output terminal 3 from a reference voltage generating circuit 11 to control the opening and closing of a lens aperture through a driving circuit 6. On the other hand, when the subject has a high- brightness part nearly in the half part, the changeover switch SW is turned on. Consequently, a video output signal is processed by peak value rectification and amplification, and then inverted by an inverting circuit 9, so a reference voltage applied to a comparing operational amplifying circuit 5 varies in proportion to the high-brightness part of the subject. Therefore, a video output signal free of deficiency of gradations of a shadow part appears at a video signal output terminal 3.

That is, the output from the image pickup tube 1 is amplified by the video amplification circuit 2 and output to the video signal output terminal 3. On the other hand, the video output signal is rectified to an average value by the rectifier circuit 4, and a motor drive circuit 6 for driving the lens fringes, which controls the opening and closing of the lens fringes S based on the signal of the ratio, is operated to output the video signal to the video signal output terminal 3. This circuit is designed to provide the rated output. The LN is a lens. However, in the above-mentioned television camera device, the brightness of the subject is averaged and extracted as a video output signal, so if a certain part of the subject has a high brightness, the brightness of that part will vary. The circuit mechanism is not able to fully cope with this, and as a result, the monitor screen has the disadvantage of causing whitewashing or blistering (which makes the screen very difficult to see).

First, as shown in the figure, when the changeover switch SW is set to 0FF (open) and a subject with uniform brightness is imaged, the light that passes through the lens LN and the lens pattern S and reaches the image pickup tube is converted into an electrical signal. The signal is amplified through the video amplification circuit 2, inputted to the average value rectification circuit 4, rectified by average value, and inputted to one terminal of the comparison calculation circuit 5. Since the first reference voltage suitable for obtaining a rated output signal at the video signal output terminal 3 is applied from the reference voltage generation circuit 11 to the other input terminal, the average value rectified signal voltage is applied to the first reference voltage. The opening and closing of the lens pattern is controlled via the drive circuit 6 to adjust the amount of light entering the image pickup tube 1 so that it is equal to the reference voltage of the video signal output terminal 3.
It operates to obtain the rated output signal. In this case, the changeover switch SW is set to 0FPt', and the following circuits 7.8.9.10 do not operate. By the way, when this changeover switch is OFF and there is a high-brightness light area in about half of the object, and this object is imaged, the video signal output is rectified by the average value rectification circuit 4, and the video signal output is rectified by the average value rectification circuit 4, and then The comparison calculation is made with the first reference voltage, and the lens pattern mechanism is operated so that it becomes the same as the first reference voltage.However, since the comparison voltage generating means is the average value of the video output signal, the average value is Since a constant video output can be obtained,
The peak value of the video signal output is twice as high as when the entire subject is bright, so the high-brightness light area appears as whitewash or white blisters on the monitor. I can't see a clear screen. In such a case, turn on (close) the switch switch and the tip SW to input the video output signal to the peak value rectifier circuit 7 for peak value rectification, and after amplifying this signal voltage in the DC amplifier circuit 8, A video output signal with a constant peak value is supplied to the video output signal terminal 3 by inputting it to the inverting circuit 9, inverting the signal voltage, and using it as a reference for the above-mentioned comparison calculation circuit 5 via the reference voltage adjustment circuit 10. This is something that can be obtained.

That is, when the changeover switch is turned on, the video output signal is peak-value rectified and amplified, and the signal is inverted by the inverting circuit 9, so that the reference voltage applied to the comparison arithmetic amplifier circuit 5 is applied to the high-luminance part of the subject. Since the reference voltage changes proportionally, the average rectified voltage can easily operate the lens shading mechanism to match the reference voltage. There are six of them so that it is possible to obtain a video output signal with no distortion, etc. In the present invention, since the output of the inverting circuit 9 can be adjusted by the variable resistor of the reference voltage adjusting circuit 10, it is easier to finely adjust the fringing mechanism according to the brightness ratio of the subject.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a circuit means for operating a lens shading mechanism using the average value of the video signal output in the television camera device, a peak value rectification of the video output signal, and an output signal obtained by inverting the rectified video signal. The average value of the video signal output is compared with the average value signal of the video signal output, and the lens shading mechanism is operated, and the circuits after the peak value rectifier circuit are arbitrarily turned on and off using the changeover switch means.
By making it possible to perform F operation, it became possible to set the lens shading mechanism to the state most suitable for the brightness of the subject, making it possible to provide a television camera device with a wide range of uses. .
