Patent number: 10051165Abstract: A filter device for a camera which has an optical path, comprises at least one filter unit which has an actuation device and at least one first filter element and one second filter element. The actuation device has a holding device which can be magnetically coupled to the first and to the second filter element and which can be displaced linearly to bring the filter elements selectively into the optical path of the camera or to move them out of the optical path of the camera.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Arnold & Richter Cine Technik GmbH & Co. Betriebs KGInventor: Timo Sperber

Patent number: 9992390Abstract: An electronic video camera has a camera body which comprises an inner carrier structure and at least one outer cover element which is arranged at the carrier structure and which bounds an interior space of the camera body. In this respect, the camera structure forms a central cooling passage which divides the interior space of the camera body into a ventilation space within the cooling passage and into at least one component space outside the cooling passage. The ventilation space is open toward the environment of the video camera. The component space is sealingly closed with respect to the ventilation space and the environment of the video camera. The video camera has electronic components which are received in the component space and are thermally conductively coupled to the ventilation space via at least one side wall of the cooling passage. The cover element furthermore forms a side cover which is releasable to expose the electronic components arranged in the component space for servicing purposes.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Arnold & Richter Cine Technik GmbH & Co. Betriebs KGInventors: Michael Koppetz, Timo Sperber

Patent number: 9854173Abstract: A viewfinder and operating unit for a video camera is configured separate from the video camera and comprises a main body, an electronic viewfinder and an operating device pivotably fastened to the main body for the configuring and/or controlling of the video camera. The electronic viewfinder has a viewfinder display as well as an eyepiece having an optical axis. The operating device has an areal operating field display and is pivotable into at least two different positions relative to the main body. The operating device projects from the main body in a cameraman operating position and an observation axis aligned perpendicular to the areal operating field display extends in parallel with the optical axis of the eyepiece as well as laterally offset therefrom. The observation axis of the operating field display is aligned perpendicular to the optical axis of the eyepiece in an assistant operating position.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2014Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Inventors: Tom Faehrmann, Michael Koppetz, Timo Sperber
