  • System for recording identical electronic and photographic images
    Patent number: 5389984
    Abstract: Apparatus for recording a video image which is identical to a photograph of a person includes a video camera for making a video image and a photographic camera having an openable shutter for exposing a piece of film for taking a photograph. A computer is operatively connected to the photographic camera and to the video camera for sending a take signal to the photographic camera at a predetermined time before sending a take signal to the video camera, the predetermined time being equal to the length of time required to open the shutter. Thus the photographic camera takes a photograph which is identical to the video image recorded by the video camera, because the photographic camera and the video camera respond to their respective take signals at the same time.
