Apparatus for synchronizing two video pictures by controlling vertical synchronization of a video camera

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an apparatus for synchronizing separate object images by generating a signal for controlling the vertical synchronization of a video camera.
It is another object of this invention to provide apparatus for synchronizing separate object images in an exact, easy and efficient manner.
In accordance with an aspect of this invention, apparatus for synchronizing a first video signal corresponding to a first image and a second video signal corresponding to a second image, each of the first and second video signals including at least a vertical synchronizing signal, includes camera means for producing the first and second video signals corresponding to the first and second images, respectively, the camera means including means for generating the vertical synchronizing signals of the first and second video signals in response to a pulse signal supplied thereto; storage means for storing the first video signal produced by the camera means; synchronizing signal generating means for producing a vertical synchronizing signal in response to the stored first video signal; and control means for generating said pulse signal phase displaced with respect to the vertical synchronizing signal of the first video signal in response to the vertical synchronizing signal from the synchronizing signal generating means, and for supplying the pulse signal to the camera means to control the latter to effect synchronization of the vertical synchronizing signals of the first and second video signals.
The above, and other, objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent from the following detailed description thereof which is to be read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
