Abstract: A dubbing control apparatus which can perform dubbing between a video camera and a fixed video cassette recorder (VCR) with the video camera and the fixed VCR being detachably connected with each other. The apparatus includes connectors, installed on the video camera and the fixed VCR, respectively, for being in contact with each other, the connectors interfacing with a power supply, video and audio signals reproduced/recorded by the video camera and the fixed VCR, and other signals during dubbing, and switching elements for selecting dubbing conditions from the video camera to the fixed VCR and vice versa.

Abstract: A self-diagnosing apparatus and a method for a video recording and reproducing apparatus which are capable of detecting errors of the apparatus, and classifying the errors for thus more effectively correcting the errors. The apparatus includes an operation state detection unit for detecting an operation state of a part of the apparatus, a self-diagnosing unit for checking an erroneous part based on an output signal from the operation state detection unit and checking a using state of a telephone for displaying an information which is used for correcting the error and externally transmitting the information, a memory apparatus for storing an information therein used for an error correction, and a modem for externally transmitting an information from the self-diagnosing unit via a public telephone line.

Abstract: A movie camera system having a function for projecting an image of an object being presently or previously imaged on an external screen, as well as a function for monitoring the image and a method of displaying a video signal therein. A composite video signal from a camera section or a VCR section is processed by a video signal processor in a display section so that it can be displayed on a display device including a matrix of pixels. The processed video signal from the video signal processor includes red, green and blue color signals. Arrangement of the proposed video signal is changed according to whether the projecting function or the view finding function is selected. According to the selected function, an optical image resulting from the video signal displayed on the display device is lighted by a large or small amount or light from a light source at the rear. The user can view or monitor the image on the display device through a focus lens unit at a front portion thereof.
