摘要

A high-speed digital video camera (3) and controller display unit (CDU) (5) therefor are disclosed. The CDU (5) comprises a display screen (50) and a control console having one or more control elements (54, 56). The CDU (5) is adapted to be connected to the camera (3) by means of a controller display interface (32) of the camera (3), and to display video images received from the camera without storing video image data locally to the CDU. The images are preferably displayed substantially immediately by the CDU (5). The camera (3) contains the main image processing hardware, so that the CDU (5) may be highly portable and easily connected to the camera for immediate use. A high-speed digital video camera system (1) and a method of controlling the same are also disclosed.
