Abstract
Abstract In a color camera in which each time a rotatable filter is changed over to the positions of the filter portions of R, G and B, the reading operation of an image pickup device is performed to thereby output video signals of primary colors successively, there is provided registration correcting means for varying the scanning start point when each primary color video signal is read so as to eliminate the color misregistration when a color image is reproduced on the basis of the video signals of primary colors R, G and B.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A color camera comprising: an image pickup tube; means for generating as an output a horizontal deflection signal for moving an electron beam of said image pickup tube in a horizontal direction and a vertical deflection signal for moving the electron beam of said image pickup tube in a vertical direction; a rotatable filter disposed between said image pickup tube and an object to be photographed, the filter having plural filter portions, each filter portion being of a color different from some other filter portions; means for rotating said rotatable filter, said image pickup tube outputting video signals corresponding to said colors in accordance with the rotational position of said filter; and means for adjusting a scanning area of said image pickup tube in a horizontal direction or in a vertical direction for each of said colors by adjusting said horizontal deflection signal or said vertical deflection signal, respectively.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A color camera comprising: an image pickup tube; means for generating as an output a horizontal deflection signal for moving an electron beam of said image pickup tube in a horizontal direction and a vertical deflection signal for moving the electron beam of said image pickup tube in a vertical direction; a rotatable filter disposed between said image pickup tube and an object to be photographed, the filter having plural filter portions, each filter portion being of a color different from some other filter portions; means for rotating said rotatable filter, said image pickup tube outputting video signals corresponding to said colors in accordance with the rotational position of said filter; and means for adjusting a scanning area of said image pickup tube in a horizontal direction or in a vertical direction for each of said colors by adjusting said horizontal deflection signal or said vertical deflection signal, respectively.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
85 words
A color camera comprising: an image pickup device; a rotatable filter disposed between said image pickup device and an object to be photographed, the filter having plural filter portions, each filter portion being of a color different from some other filter portions; means for rotating said rotatable filter; and a registration correcting means for adjusting a scanning area of said image pickup device for each of said colors and thereby correcting registration of images picked up by said image pickup device corresponding to respective colors.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
85 words
A color camera comprising: an image pickup device; a rotatable filter disposed between said image pickup device and an object to be photographed, the filter having plural filter portions, each filter portion being of a color different from some other filter portions; means for rotating said rotatable filter; and a registration correcting means for adjusting a scanning area of said image pickup device for each of said colors and thereby correcting registration of images picked up by said image pickup device corresponding to respective colors.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
A color camera according to claim 2, wherein said image pickup device is an image pickup tube and said registration correcting means has a deflection signal output means for outputting a deflection signal to said image pickup tube and a correcting means for correcting said deflection signal.
