Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a prompter system used for broadcasting and general filming. [Background technology]

[0002] A teleprompter is a system used for broadcasting and general filming. A half mirror or glass is attached to the front of the camera lens, and an LCD displaying an inverted video signal is attached to the bottom of the half mirror or glass. The image transferred to the LCD is reflected by the half mirror or glass, allowing information to be delivered to the subject. The subject can see the information attached to the video signal even while looking directly at the camera lens, allowing for stable recording. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The prompter system allows the subject to look directly at the camera lens, but still be able to visually confirm information via video signals provided to the prompter system, enabling stable recording.

[0004] Traditionally, cameras used in prompter systems, such as shoulder cameras and handheld cameras, have lenses that protrude from the front. Because the lenses protrude, prompter systems can be easily attached by simply covering the lens. However, in recent years, there has been an increase in cameras that can pan, tilt, and zoom themselves, and these cameras have lenses built into the camera and are dome-shaped. This has made them difficult to attach to prompter systems, and improvements were necessary. Furthermore, when a camera that can pan, tilt, and zoom is attached to a prompter system, the pan and tilt functions are not fully reflected in the prompter system, so improvements were also necessary.

[0005] Based on the above circumstances, the present invention has been filed in order to improve convenience and comfort. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] According to the present invention, the following inventions are provided: [1] A prompter system for broadcasting, which has a mounting mechanism to which a camera with pan, tilt, and zoom functions can be attached. [2] A prompter system for broadcasting as described in [1], wherein the mounting mechanism is attached using a hook-and-loop fastener. [3] A prompter system according to [1] or [2], wherein the mirror angle of the prompter system is adjusted by attaching an angle part between the mounting mechanism and the prompter system. [4] A prompter system for broadcasting described in any one of [1] to [3], which uses a camera with different types of pan, tilt, and zoom functions by using a part that adjusts the height of the mounting mechanism. [5] A prompter system according to any one of [1] to [4], wherein the mounting mechanism or prompter system has a built-in PC that displays the manuscript, and the manuscript is displayed on the mechanism or prompter system to which a camera with pan, tilt, and zoom functions can be attached. [6] A prompter system according to any one of [1] to [5], wherein the mounting mechanism or the prompter system has a built-in adapter for an optical transmission device, and some or all of the control signals, tally signals, camera signals, and camera control signals of a camera with pan, tilt, and zoom functions can be optically communicated with a base station of the optical transmission device. [7] A prompter system according to [6], which can be removed and used as a system of a camera and optical transmission device with pan, tilt, and zoom functions. [8] A prompter system according to any one of [1] to [7], wherein a face recognition sensor is attached to the mounting mechanism or the prompter system, and when an electric pan head is attached, the prompter system tracks the subject that appears on the camera. [9] A prompter system according to any one of [1] to [8], wherein a balance adapter is attached to the mounting mechanism or the entire prompter system, making it possible to adjust the center of gravity.

[10] A prompter system according to any one of [1] to [9], which can attach a sliding adapter to the mounting mechanism to assist in the mounting of a camera with pan, tilt, and zoom functions. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

The camera mounting adapter B is shaped like a box that completely covers the camera C equipped with pan, tilt, and zoom functions. Description of Claim 1

[0010] The prompter system of this embodiment uses a camera mounting adapter B to attach the prompter main body A and a camera C equipped with pan, tilt, and zoom functions. The camera mounting adapter B and the prompter half mirror or glass portion a2 are grounded using a hook-and-loop fastener D. Description of Claim 2

[0011] The prompter system of this embodiment uses a camera mounting adapter B to attach a prompter main body A and a camera C equipped with pan, tilt, and zoom functions. The camera mounting adapter B is grounded to the prompter half mirror or glass portion a2 using a hook-and-loop fastener D. In addition, by attaching an angle adjustment adapter E between the camera mounting adapter B and the prompter half mirror or glass portion a2, the angle of the prompter half mirror or glass portion a2 can be changed. Description of Claim 3

[0012] The prompter system of this embodiment uses a camera mounting adapter B to attach a prompter main body A and a camera C equipped with pan, tilt, and zoom functions. A height adjustment adapter F is attached inside the camera mounting adapter B. The height of the camera C can be adjusted, and the optical axis of the lens can be adapted to other models.
