った。In general, television broadcasting stations provide news, weather forecasts,
When the range of movement of the subject is relatively small, such as in a conversation or educational program, the operator does not directly operate the pan head system consisting of the TV camera and the pan head, but instead uses the control device to ), vertical direction (hereinafter referred to as tilt), zoom and focus of the TV camera lens, movement of camera height, etc., and screen (hereinafter referred to as shot) determined by the stop position, etc., are stored in advance in the monitor room. It is operated remotely. In this case, if the actual shot of the tripod head system is different from the shot memory stored in advance, or if the tripod head system is operated correctly but the subject moves after the shot is stored,
While observing the TV monitor, the operator operates the rotary encoder for pan control, the rotary encoder for tilt control, or the joystick for both pan and tilt control on the operation panel of the control device to move the pan head and adjust the screen. Correction (hereinafter referred to as trimming) is being performed. Therefore, in this kind of trimming, the operator has to concentrate his/her attention on both the monitor TV and the row encoder or joystick, which has the disadvantage that the operability of the pan head control is poor. Due to the mechanical structure of the joystick, the moving parts lacked long-term reliability.

、雲台制御の操作性が向上することが可能になる。In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional example, an object of the present invention is to provide a finger touch input device on a screen that monitors images taken by a television camera mounted on a pan head, and to generate signals by pressurizing the finger touch input device. The object of the present invention is to provide a pan head system control device that extracts the signal and operates the pan head system using this signal. This eliminates the need for mechanical movable parts such as low-return encoders and joysticks, improving the time reliability of the pan head control device, and also reducing the operator's concentration of attention on the extremely important TV monitor. This makes it possible to improve the operability of pan head control.

Here, the piezoelectric element 79g receives a partial pressure inversely proportional to the distance from the upper left position 5b of the transparent plate pressurized by the pressure means B to the element 71g, and generates a piezoelectric conversion signal 7a1ga proportional to the partial pressure. do. Next, the arithmetic unit wa performs arithmetic processing on the pan trimming amount p on the telepicture screen using 7a0ga. Therefore, P is the position information of the position llb of the telepicture screen, and is also IPI〈/(anonymous number). That is, if the pressure point &b on X coincides with center left a, signal 7a=? b, and p=o. If the pressurizing point 5b approaches the piezoelectric element 7, P approaches +/, and if it approaches the piezoelectric element, -/

い。In the above embodiment, in order to perform pan trimming, the piezoelectric element 71g was arranged horizontally on the screen of the monitor telepicture and the transparent plate.
Tilt trimming is possible by arranging the piezoelectric elements 7, g, gO at least three places in the x-y direction to detect the pressure point 5b on the transparent plate. By dividing into pan and tilt, trimming of both pan and tilt can be performed simultaneously. Furthermore, instead of a panel in which a transparent plate and a piezoelectric element are combined, a panel in which transparent electrodes are arranged on a glass plate and any of them are short-circuited may be used.

効果がある。As explained above, a finger touch input device is provided on the screen that monitors images taken by a television camera mounted on a pan head, and a signal is extracted by applying pressure to this finger touch input device. Since the pan head can be operated, there is no mechanical part for trimming the control device, improving reliability.Furthermore, the operator's attention can be focused on the TV monitor, making the pan head control easier to operate. It has an improving effect.
