Publication number: 20100271504Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2010Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: Arnold & Richter Cine Technik GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7738010Abstract: The invention relates to a digital motion picture camera comprising at least one optoelectronic sensor device for the recording of motion pictures. The sensor device has, in an areal arrangement, a plurality of sensor elements for the production of a respective received signal in dependence on a light exposure. The camera further has a control device for the controlling of the read-out of the received signals of the sensor elements as well as a digitizing device for the digitizing of the received signals. A part of the sensor elements is associated with a central areal region of the sensor device for the production of received recording signals and another part of the sensor elements is associated with a frame-shaped areal region of the sensor device for the production of received monitoring signals, said frame-shaped areal region surrounding the central areal region.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2003Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Arnold & Richter Cine Technik GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7428381Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic motion picture camera having an optical receiving system and a beam splitter which splits the receiving beam path into a taking beam path leading to an optoelectronic taking sensor and a viewfinder beam path leading to an optical viewfinder. The camera has an electronic display for the reproduction of an additional image. An optical vision mixer is arranged in the viewfinder beam path by which the taken image and the additional image can be directed in the direction of the viewfinder such that the taken image or the additional image, or the taken image and the additional image as a uniform image, can be observed in the viewfinder.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2005Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignee: Arnold & Richter Cine Technik GmbH & Co.
