Abstract: A method is provided for picking up an image of an object with a camera mounted via a pan head on a moving pedestal. A reference position on a floor surface on which the moving pedestal moves and a reference angle of the moving pedestal are both set. A moving amount of the moving pedestal from the reference position and a rotation angle thereof from the reference angle are detected, and a position and an angle of the camera with respect to the object is found on the basis of the reference position, the reference angle, the moving amount and the rotation angle of the moving pedestal. Data of the position and the angle of the camera with respect to the object are transmitted to a computer for creating an image containing a real object image of the object taken with the camera.

Abstract: The display re-imaging system comprises a monitor (1) for display re-imaging and a television camera (30) having a display of the monitor for display re-imaging in a part of a field of view of the television camera. The monitor (1) consists of an LCD monitor comprising a back light (11) including cold cathode fluorescent lamps (11-1 to 11-4) as a light source having a prescribed color temperature, and a non-self-light-emitting-display panel (13) for selectively transmitting light emitted from the back light according to an image signal. The, color temperature of the cold cathode fluorescent lamps (11-1 to 11-4) is adjusted to a level corresponding to a reddish color to match with the color temperature of the re-imaging environment.

Abstract: A digital video distribution system is disclosed which includes video terminals connected within a LAN and distributes video from a certain terminal to destination terminals, simultaneously. In this system, each transmitter terminal has an encoder that converts analog video information from a corresponding video source to digitally compressed video information. A hub are connected to the video terminals to distribute digitally compressed video information from a transmitter terminal to multiple destination (receiver) terminals in accordance with a multicast communication protocol. Each of the receiver terminals has an address filter for selecting a packet from among multicast communication packets that has a desired source address as valid video information. The receiver further has a decoder for converting digitally encoded information received as valid to original analog video information with expansion.

Abstract: A television video signal synchronizing apparatus, which synchronizes an input television video signal to a reference timing mark. The input video signal is digitized and stored in a memory at locations which are provided by a writing address generator. The writing operation is performed in synchronism with the input video signal. A reading address generator produces reading addresses for reading out the stored video signal to deliver an output television signal which is synchronized to the reference timing mark. The reading address generator is controlled to read out an active video portion of the stored video signal after a delay of about one horizontal scanning period (63.5 microseconds in the NTSC system) immediately after the writing operation of the same active video portion. Thereby "lip lag" i.e. a mismatch between the audio and video signals, is avoided.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making monocolor prints in a desired color wherein a web of photoconductive material is supplied as a photosensitive material, a desired length of segment is sheared from said web of photoconductive material, said material segment is electrically charged, the charged material is exposed by a phototypesetting machine to light through desired characters, numerals and/or other symbols in an original plate of said machine, and said exposed material is developed by the use of electrophotographic toner having a desired color.
