MOVIE CAMERA SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DISPLAYING A VIDEO SIGNAL THEREIN

摘要

A movie camera system having a function of projecting an image of an object being presently shot or previously shot on an external screen as well as a function of monitoring the image and a method of displaying a video signal therein. A composite video signal from a camera section or a VCR section is processed by a video signal processor in a display section so that it can be displayed on a display device which is of a matrixed form of pixels. The processed video signals from the video signal processor correspond respectively to red, green and blue color signals. Arrangements of the processed video signals are changed according to whether a selected function is the projecting function or the view finding function. According to the selected function, an optical image resulting from the video signals displayed on the display device is lighted by a large or small amount or light from a light source at the rear. The user can view or monitor the image on the display device through a focus lens unit at the front portion thereof. The image on the display device is also projected on an external screen by the large amount of light from the light source. A memory may be used to change the arrangement of the video signal before application to the display section. In this case, the display section functions only to sequentially display the video signals therein.
