In a image pickup apparatus having three cameras for use in picking up a seamless panoramic image for a multi-screen, angles of view of the three cameras are jointed with each other without any overlapping or dead areas by making a side boundary line of one camera match with a complimentary side boundary line of another camera, the two outside cameras receiving an image in reverse through two reflection mirrors. The two reversed images are electrically or optically inverted by inversion sections to obtain original images.

Image pickup apparatus capable of preventing overlap or lack of image

A noise reduction apparatus in an FM stereo tuner including a circuit for generating a stereo sum signal and a stereo differential signal; a noise eliminating circuit for dividing, in accordance with several frequency bands, the stereo differential signal into several divisional signals and for outputting, in accordance with signals levels corresponding to the frequency bands, a composite signal of divisional stereo differential signals respectively corresponding to the signal levels; and a circuit for reproducing a stereo signal from the composite signal and the stereo sum signal. In another embodiment, the noise reduction apparatus includes a circuit for generating a stereo sum signal and a first stereo differential signal; a noise eliminating circuit for dividing the stereo sum signal and the first stereo differential signal into several divisional differential signals and several divisional sum signals, for eliminating a low-level divisional stereo differential signal in each of the frequency bands to generate a second stereo differential signal, and for outputting a composite signal representing the second stereo differential signal and those divisional stereo sum signals in the same divisional band as the eliminated divisional stereo differential signals; and a circuit for reproducing a stereo signal from the composite signal and the stereo sum signal.

Noise reduction apparatus in an FM stereo tuner

A MIDI apparatus and a MIDI system wherein an operation ON signal for starting operation to a MIDI instrument and an operation OFF signal for stopping the operation are obtained and supplied to the MIDI instrument in response to a MIDI format signal included in a subcode signal generated during play of a record medium play apparatus. If the play state of the record medium play apparatus becomes discontinuous, such as a pause after the operation ON signal is supplied to the MIDI instrument and before the operation OFF signal corresponding to the operation ON signal is obtained, the operation OFF signal is forcedly supplied to the MIDI instrument. Thereby such the sound of the MIDI instrument is stopped when there is a discontinuous play state after the operation ON signal is supplied to the MIDI instrument and before the operation OFF signal corresponding to the operation ON signal would ordinarily be supplied.
