Integral recording unit type television camera

Abstract

Abstract An integral recording unit type television camera which is provided with a trigger signal generating unit which generates an external trigger signal and internal trigger signal for controlling to a recording state or stopping state an external recording unit (2) and internal recording unit (1) by operation of a start/stop switch and which controls the trigger signal generating unit (5) so as to output both the external trigger signal and the internal trigger signal when both an external recording unit and internal recording unit are in the recording state or stopping state and so as to output just the internal trigger signal when the external recording unit is in the recording state and the internal recording unit is in the stopping state and, further, a tape cassette of the internal recording unit is in a recording standby state, whereby it is possible to place both the internal recording unit and external recording unit simultaneously in the recording state or the stopping state by operation of a single start/stop switch and whereby when the recording state of the internal recording unit is released due to the tape running out or other reasons, it is possible to place the internal recording unit in the recording state again without release of the recording state of the external recording unit by mounting a new tape cassette and operating the start/stop switch, thus enabling simultaneous control of the recording of the external recording unit and internal recording unit at the television camera side and, further, simplifying the operation due to operation by a single start/stop switch. Also, an integral recording unit type television camera which can be connected to an external recording unit by a cable, wherein provision is made of an AND circuit (A2,A3) and an OR circuit (A1) for obtaining the AND condition and OR condition of an internal status signal showing the operating state of the internal recording unit and an external status signal showing the operating state of the external recording unit, respectively, and wherein the output of the AND circuit is supplied to a display means when both the recording units are in the recording state and the output of the OR circuit is supplied to the display means when one is in the recording state, so the operating states of the two recording units are displayed by the display means by the AND signal of the internal status signal and the external status signal when both the recording units are in the recording state, an abnormality is displayed by the display means if one or both of the recording units show an abnormality, and the operating state of a single recording unit is displayed by the display means by the internal status signal or the external status signal when that recording unit is in the recording state, whereby there is the effect that it is possible to recognize the operating states of not only the internal recording unit but also the external recording unit by the display means.
