  • Patent number: 9736362
    Abstract: Multiple capture assist marks (markers for capture assistance) to be synthesized with video captured by a camera unit 10 is generated by an OSD unit 20 through the control of a control unit 100. These capture assist marks are synthesized with the video from the camera unit 10 by synthesis means and displayed. In this case, an operation unit 110 is used to accept input of an instruction about the capture assist mark from a user. Based on this instruction input, the control unit 100 controls the OSD unit 20 and a baseband processing unit 30 to synthesize the capture assist mark corresponding to the instruction with a video signal from the camera unit 10.

  • Publication number: 20060045493
    Abstract: A reproducing apparatus is disclosed that is capable of reproducing digital signals that have a plurality of different formats from recording medium, the apparatus includes a format determination section, a reproduction section, and a state change management section. The format determination section determines the format of a digital signal reproduced from the recording medium. The reproduction section reproduces a digital signal from the recording medium in a predetermined state. The state change management section manages the change of the state of the reproduction section according to the determined result of the format determination section.

  • Patent number: 4424855
    Abstract: In the equipment for continuous casting of steel, an improved method for cooling a continuous cast slab or the like by which a hot slab can be transferred directly to a rolling step. In accordance with the improved method, the continuous cast slab is subjected to indirect cooling by means of cooling a series of guide rolls with a gas-liquid mist, or if the equipment length is limited, the slab is subjected to direct cooling by means of a gas-liquid mist cooling step, and then to the indirect cooling step in a subsequent process.
