Image speed calibrating device
First Claim
1. An image speed indicator for a camera comprising;
- an electronically generated marker movable relative to a monitor for use with a camera;
means for causing the marker to move relative to the monitor at a selected speed and direction during a first operation of a camera;
means for providing an indication of the selected speed and direction that takes place between the marker and the monitor; and
means for causing a marker to move relative to a monitor at the selected speed and direction during operation of a camera, subsequent to said first operation of a camera.

Abstract
An image speed indicator displayed in a monitor to be used as an aid during the filming process with a video camera and monitor or a film camera being used with a video assist unit. The indicator can be adjusted to move at a selected speed horizontally and/or at a selected speed vertically. When both horizontal and vertical non-zero speeds are set the marker will move at an angle across the monitor. The apparatus displays and saves the speed setting so that it can be reproduced at later time Therefore shots recorded at different times can be shot with the marker set on a desired scene object and the camera panned at the same speed and angle or wholly horizontally or vertically.

8. An image speed indicator for a video camera system having a monitor which displays the scene being recorded by the camera comprising;
-
means for electronically generating a selected marker configuration on the monitor; control means for setting movement of the marker in a selected line of movement and at a selected speed on the monitor; means for causing the marker to move across the monitor in the same selected line of movement and at the same selected speed during a first operation of a video camera system while recording a selected scene; and means for reproducing the movement of a marker across a monitor in the same selected line of movement and at the same selected speed during a second operation of a video camera system after said first operation of a video camera system. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A method of reproducing the relative movement of a recorded selected scene element comprising;
-
at a first time electronically generating a marker on a video monitor connected to a camera, which video monitor displays the scene being recorded by the camera; providing means for moving the marker on the video monitor along a selected line of movement and at a selected speed; placing the marker on a selected scene element and while operating the camera moving the camera in coordination with movement of the marker on the monitor to keep the marker placed on the selected element; providing means for reproducing the marker line of movement and speed within a video monitor connected to a camera at a later time. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
