Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a camera-integrated magnetic recording and reproducing device.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, camera-integrated magnetic recording and reproducing devices have become inexpensive.

A conventional camera-integrated magnetic recording/reproducing device will be described below.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional camera-integrated magnetic recording/reproducing device.

In FIG. 2, 11 is an imaging section, 12 is an audio collection section, 1
8 is a signal processing section, 16 is a recording/reproducing section, and 17 is a viewfinder section.

The operation of the conventional camera-integrated magnetic recording/reproducing device configured as described above will be explained.

When recording arbitrary images and sounds, for example, when photographing scenery or scenes, the scenery or scene is converted into a video signal by the imaging section 11, and the sound accompanying the scenery or scene is converted into an audio signal by the audio collection section 12. is converted to The video signal obtained by the imaging unit 11 and the audio signal obtained by the audio collection unit 12 are
The signals are input to the signal processing section 18 and processed into appropriate video and audio signals. By inputting the video signal and the audio signal to the recording and reproducing section 16, the video signal and the audio signal are input to the recording and reproducing section 16.
recorded on the recording medium. At this time, the video being recorded is checked using the viewfinder section 17.

Further, when reproducing any recorded image or sound, the recording/reproducing section 16 reproduces the contents of the recording medium, and the reproduced image is displayed on the viewfinder section 17.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, the conventional camera-integrated magnetic recording and reproducing device configured in this manner only has the function of recording and reproducing arbitrary images and sounds using the camera, which is the imaging unit 11, and the microphone, which is the audio collecting unit 12. For example, if you suddenly want to record a television broadcast while photographing a scenery outdoors, there is a problem in that it is not possible.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a camera-integrated magnetic recording and reproducing device that is capable of recording and reproducing television broadcasting as needed, in addition to the recording and reproducing functions of arbitrary images and sounds. be.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A camera-integrated magnetic recording and reproducing device of the present invention includes an imaging unit that captures an arbitrary image, a television broadcast receiving unit that receives television broadcasting, and a communication unit between the imaging unit and the television broadcasting. A mode selection switch that selects one of the output signals from the receiving section, a signal processing section that processes the signal selected by the mode selection switch, and a recording/playback section that records and plays back the output signal of this signal processing section. and a viewfinder section for checking the image during recording and playback.

[Effect]

According to the configuration of the present invention, in addition to the imaging section for recording an arbitrary image, the television broadcast receiving section and the mode selection switch are provided, so that by switching the mode selection switch to the television broadcast receiving section, the Can receive and record television broadcasts.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a camera-integrated magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the camera-integrated magnetic recording and reproducing device includes an imaging unit 11 that captures an arbitrary image, an audio collection unit 12 that collects arbitrary sounds, and a television broadcast receiver that receives television broadcasts. section 13, a mode selection switch 14 for selecting one of the output signals of the imaging section 11 and the audio collection section 12, and the output signal of the television broadcast receiving section 13.
a signal processing section 15 that processes the signal selected by the mode selection switch 14; a recording and reproducing section 17 that records and reproduces the output signal of the signal processing section 15; The camera is equipped with a viewfinder section 17 for use in the camera.

The major features of the camera-integrated magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus shown in FIG. A mode selection switch 14 is provided for selecting one of the output signals of the section 11 and the audio collection section 12 and the output signal of the television receiver section 13.

The operation of the camera-integrated magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus configured as described above will be explained.

To record any image or sound, set the mode selection switch to A.
Set it on the side. As a result, the imaging unit 11 can obtain an arbitrary image (
For example, the scenery or scene) is converted into a video signal, and the audio collection unit 1
In step 2, arbitrary sounds (for example, sounds associated with scenery or scenes) are converted into audio signals, and each signal is input to the signal processing section 15.

The signal processing unit 15 processes the video signal obtained by the imaging unit II and the audio signal obtained by the audio collection unit 12 into appropriate video and audio signals. Then, by inputting the video signal and the audio signal to the recording and reproducing section 16, the video signal and the audio signal are input to the recording and reproducing section 1.
6 recording medium. At this time, the image can be confirmed through the viewfinder section 17.

When recording television broadcasts, set the mode selection switch to the B side. As a result, the television receiving section 13 inputs the received and tuned video and audio signals to the signal processing section 15 . The signal processing section 15 processes the video and audio signals obtained by the television broadcast receiving section 13 into appropriate video and audio signals. Then, by inputting the signal to the recording/reproducing section 16, the video signal and the audio signal are recorded on the recording medium of the recording/reproducing section 16. At this time, the image can be confirmed through the viewfinder section 17.

When reproducing recorded images and sounds or television broadcasts, the recording and reproducing section 16 reproduces the contents of the recording medium, and the viewfinder section 17 displays the video being reproduced.

As described above, the camera-integrated magnetic recording and reproducing device of the embodiment includes a television broadcast receiving section 13 and a mode selection switch 14 in addition to the imaging section 11 and audio collecting section 12 for recording arbitrary images and sounds. Therefore, by switching the mode selection switch 14, it is possible to receive and record television broadcasts even outdoors, and needless to say, it is also possible to record television broadcasts at home.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the camera-integrated recording and reproducing device of the present invention, in addition to the imaging section for recording an arbitrary image, it is equipped with a television receiving section and a mode selection switch, so that it is possible to switch the mote selection switch to the television broadcast receiving section. This allows you to receive and record television broadcasts as needed.

As a result, television broadcasts can be recorded outdoors, and can be used at home as an alternative to stationary magnetic recording and reproducing devices, making it an excellent product that reduces equipment costs and installation space. A camera-integrated magnetic recording and reproducing device can be obtained.
