Abstract: A small CCD camera includes an imaging parameter setting terminal that can be connected to an external imaging parameter controller via a cable, thereby allowing the imaging parameters of the small CCD camera to be set and/or modified remotely using the external imaging parameter controller. Because the small CCD camera does not include a parameter controller, which typically includes a number of control buttons and a display, the size of the CCD camera may be minimized.

Abstract: An exchangeable connecting device between a video camera and an automatic iris lens in which one common connector (k) makes it possible to connect different kinds of lenses, and use any kind of a lens, L1 or L2 without first confirming the kind of lens to be used. In the video camera (M5) one of video control signals (1), amplified by the output of a light sensor is directly connected to an analogue switch (t), while the other is connected through a galvanometer control circuit (p) to the analogue switch (t) by common connector (k). When a video signal control type automatic iris lens (L1) is connected, a video control signal (1) amplified by the output of light sensor is directly connected to the analogue switch (t) and the common connector (k). When a DC control type automatic iris lens (L2) is connected, analogue switch (t) selects a video control signal (1) amplified by the galvanometer control circuit p.

Abstract: Object; To provide an exchangeable connecting device between a video camera and an automatic iris lens in which one common connector (k) is possible to connect different kind of lenses, and it is possible to use any kind of lens L1 or L2 without confirming the kind of lens to be used. Construction; an exchangeable connecting device between a video camera (M5) such as a CCD (Charged Couple Device) camera, area image sensor and automatic iris lens; in said video camera (M5) one of video control signals (1) amplified the output of light sensor is directly connected to an analog switch (t), while the other is connected through a galvanometer control circuit (p) to the analog switch (t), said analog switch (t) being connected to one common connector (k). When VS control type automatic iris lens (L1) is connected to the connector (k), a video control signal (1) amplified the output of light sensor is directly connected to the analog switch (t) and the common connector (k).
