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.

Patent number: 8063937Abstract: An electronic motion picture camera for recording a sequence of images includes a sensor device having a two-dimensional arrangement of sensor elements that generate electrical signals in dependence on an exposure to light. A first group of the sensor elements forms a recording region of the sensor device and generates recording signals, and a second group of the sensor elements forms a monitoring region of the sensor device and generates monitoring signals, wherein the monitoring region surrounds the recording region. A memory device stores the recording signals, but not the monitoring signals. A display device displays the recording signals, the monitoring signals and a frame signal representing a border between the recording region and the monitoring region of the sensor device, and the border between the recording region and the monitoring region is kept fixed during the recording of the sequence of images.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2010Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Arnold and Richter Cine Technik GmbH and Co.
