  • Patent number: 5218441
    Abstract: Method of reducing the flickering of the brightness of the video image from a television camera with a semiconductor sensor directed at the beam path of a motion picture camera with a rotating mirror shutter, in which the charge of a video half-image is integrated and the signal voltage of the video half-images serves as a video input signal to a screen and/or a video recorder. The video output signal of each video half-image is multiplied by a correction factor which is a function of the ratio of the average exposure time of a video half-image to the actual exposure time of the video half-image which depends on the rotational speed and phase of the mirror shutter as well as the integration window of the video image.
