摘要： The present invention provides a synchronization system comprising a base unit and at least one video camera. The base unit includes a master time-base adapted to set a time period that samples a frame of video data, a memory, and a base unit communications transceiver. The base unit communications transceiver is adapted to transmit a frame synchronization signal to a video camera communications transceiver. The video camera includes an image sensor adapted to store the video data, an exposure control adapted to control an exposure level of the image sensor, and a camera time-base adapted to receive the frame synchronization signal from the video camera communications transceiver. The camera time-base is further adapted to receive the frame synchronization signal, reset its time and initiates its internal timing sequence, transmit signals to the exposure control to control a length of the exposure, and transmit timing signals to the image sensor to read the video data.

摘要： A digital observation system and method for processing and transmitting video data between a video camera, or video cameras, and a base unit. The video data is transmitted, for example, by a communication protocol that is compliant with Ethernet physical drivers for transmitting and receiving data at around 100 Mbps. Video is captured at a sensor in the video camera, digitally processed and transmitted, thus overcoming limitations associated with analog processing and allowing unique features to be added. Images and other data may be transmitted efficiently in their native format, with reduced overhead, and in a non-compressed format due to the data transmission rate at or below 100 Mbps.

摘要： A video system controller inserts synchronization pulses on a video camera line, which create a frame of video on the video camera line. The video system controller also inserts camera code in the active video period of a non-viewed line of the frame of video. A plurality of camera units are connected to the video camera line and use the synchronization pulses placed on the video camera line to remain synchronized with the other camera units. Upon sensing a particular camera code on the video camera line, the camera unit which corresponds with the particular camera code will insert a video image signal into the active video time period of the viewed video line for the frame of video having the particular camera code therein. The video camera code returns to the video system controller which receives the frame of video having a composite of the synchronization pulses from video system controller and the video image signal therein. The video system controller then transmits a video image signal to a video recorder or display.

摘要： A video processing system (10) is provided that comprises an image sensor image area (14) that operates to transfer an image to an image memory (18) to be processed by a video processor (16). The exposure length of the image is controlled by an iris controller (24) which comprises a signal decoder (30). An IMAGE CLEAR signal is juxtaposed with an IMAGE TRANSFER signal to set the length of the exposure. The IMAGE CLEAR signal is generated by an iris counter (36) and an iris signal decoder (34). The maximum count used by the iris counter (36) is set using a count length set circuit (38) which receives command signals generated by monitoring the video output.

摘要： The apparatus and method (10) are applied to an image sensor (26) having an image area (32) for receiving light to form a first predetermined number of lines of image data. In certain image sensors (40, 100), a storage area (44, 108) is coupled to the image area (42, 106) for receiving a second predetermined number of lines of image data from the image area (42, 106) in response to an image area gate signal. A serial register (68, 110, 126) is further coupled to the storage area (44, 108) for receiving successive lines of image data therefrom in response to a STORAGE AREA GATE signal, and the serial register (68, 110, 126) further serially outputs the successive lines of image data in response to a SERIAL REGISTER GATE signal. The image centering command input from an operator is generated by and received from a vertical and horizontal adjust input device (12, 14) that generates a vertical adjust value and a horizontal adjust value indicative of the amount of adjustment needed for centering the image. A timing controller (24) is further coupled to the image sensor (26) and the vertical and horizontal adjust input device (12, 14) to generate the IMAGE AREA GATE, STORAGE AREA GATE, SERIAL REGISTER GATE signals, a plurality of display timing signals, and also to determine the timing relationships between the signals in response to the vertical and horizontal adjust values.
