Description

윈도우 기능을 갖는 디지털 캠코더Digital Camcorder with Window Function

본 발명은 디지털 캠코더에 관한 것으로서, 특히 뷰우파인더(View Finder)에 촬상되어 기록되는 영역과 기록되지 않는 영역을 표시하는 윈도우 기능을 갖는 디지털 캠코더에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a digital camcorder, and more particularly, to a digital camcorder having a window function for displaying an area photographed and recorded in a view finder and an area not recorded.

일반적으로 디지털 캠코더를 이용하여 피사체의 영상을 기록시에 한 가지 대상뿐만 아니라 다수의 대상을 촬상하는 경우가 있다.Generally, when recording an image of a subject using a digital camcorder, there are cases where a plurality of objects are captured as well as one object.

이때, 디지털 캠코더로 피사체를 촬상하는 사용자는 뷰우파인더에 디스플레이된 피사체를 집중하여 기록하기 때문에 현재 기록되지 않고 주위에 있는 다른 대상을 효과적으로 촬상하여 기록하기 힘들었다. 또한, 피사체를 촬상하면서 주위의 상황에 따라 다른 대상을 촬상하고자 할 경우에도 뷰우파인더에는 현재 촬상되어 기록되는 영상만 디스플레이되기 때문에 촬상하고자 하는 대상을 포착하여 타이밍에 맞게 캠코더의 촬상각도를 조정하여 대상물의 영상을 기록하기가 어려웠다.At this time, since a user photographing a subject with a digital camcorder concentrates and records a subject displayed in the viewfinder, it is difficult to effectively photograph and record another object that is not currently recorded and is around. In addition, even if you want to capture a different object according to the surrounding situation while capturing the subject, the viewfinder displays only the image that is currently captured and recorded. It was difficult to record the video.

본 발명은 상기 문제점을 해결하고자 창출한 것으로서, 뷰우파인더에 디스플레이되는 촬상 화면에서 기록되는 화면 영역을 표시한 윈도우를 설정하여 현재 기록하고 있는 대상과 타이밍에 맞게 인접된 다른 대상을 매칭시켜 촬상할 수 있는 윈도우 기능을 갖는 디지털 캠코더를 제공하는 데 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and by setting a window displaying the screen area to be recorded on the image pick-up screen displayed in the viewfinder, it is possible to image by matching the currently recorded object with another object close to the timing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a digital camcorder having a window function.

한편, 어드레스생성부(10)는 프레임 메모리(6)에 저장된 촬상 영상데이터 중에서 윈도우 영역의 영상데이터를 리드하여 윈도우 메모리(8)에 저장한다. 이때, 어드레스생성부(10)는 윈도우영역의 데이터를 억세스하여 저장하기 위한 어드레스와 제어신호를 생성하여 프레임 메모리(6)와 윈도우 메모리(8)에 출력한다.On the other hand, the address generator 10 reads the image data of the window area from the captured image data stored in the frame memory 6 and stores the image data in the window memory 8. At this time, the address generator 10 generates an address and a control signal for accessing and storing the data of the window area and outputs the address and control signals to the frame memory 6 and the window memory 8.

도 2b는 도 1의 윈도우 메모리에 저장된 영상데이터의 화면을 도시한다.FIG. 2B illustrates a screen of image data stored in the window memory of FIG. 1.

도 2c는 도 1의 업샘플링부에서 업샘플링된 영상데이터의 화면을 도시한다.FIG. 2C illustrates a screen of image data upsampled by the upsampling unit of FIG. 1.

업샘플링부(22)는 윈도우 메모리(8)에 저장된 정상화면 보다 4분의 3의 화면크기를 갖는 윈도우영역의 영상데이터를 각 데이터간의 중간값으로 보간하여 정상적인 화면크기의 데이터로 업샘플링하여 출력한다. 업샘플링되어 출력된 정상화면 크기의 영상데이터는 통상의 디지털 캠코더 기록방식으로 기록한다.The upsampling unit 22 interpolates the image data of the window area having the screen size of three quarters of the normal screen stored in the window memory 8 to an intermediate value between each data, and upsamples the data to the normal screen size. do. The upsampled and output image data of the normal picture size is recorded by a normal digital camcorder recording method.

상술한 바와 같이 본 발명에 따른 윈도우 기능을 갖는 디지털 캠코더는 뷰우파인더에 디스플레이된 촬상 화면에서 비디오 테이프에 기록되는 화면 영역을 표시한 윈도우 영역을 표시하여 사용자가 현재 촬상되어 기록되고 있는 대상과 타이밍에 맞게 인접된 다른 대상을 매칭시켜 촬상할 수 있는 기능을 제공한다.As described above, a digital camcorder having a window function according to the present invention displays a window area indicating a screen area recorded on a video tape on an image screen displayed in the viewfinder so that the user can select the object and timing at which the user is currently captured and recorded. It provides a function that can image by matching other adjacent objects to fit.
