A disk recording apparatus in which a marked improvement is achieved in terms of vibration dampening and shock impact resistance on the disk device. In this disk recording apparatus, a built-in disk device is elastically supported by a plurality of insulators, and the feeding direction of a carriage feeding mechanism for an optical disk and an optical pick-up of the disk device is substantially parallel to the optical axis of a photographic lens.

Elastic support assembly for disk device for disk recording apparatus with video camera

A video camera using a disk-type recording medium is capable of allowing the user to extend the remaining record time easily. In the control sequence, step,detects whether the record time extension key is pressed. The sequence proceeds to step,if the key is pressed, or otherwise proceeds to step,. Step,calculates the extendable remaining record time and displays it. When the storage space runs out during the recording of the video signal of an intended shot scene, step,searches for the largest record area or nearest record area of NG scene based on management information which is recorded on the recording medium for the video signal of each shot scene, moves the recording head to the area, and records the video signal of intended scene continuously by overwriting in the area. Step,detects whether the record time remains. The sequence proceeds to step,to terminate the recording operation if the record time runs out, or otherwise returns to step,. Management information including record positions of video signals is stored temporarily in the memory, and it is recorded in the management information area of the recording medium when the recording is halted or terminated.

Disk recording apparatus and video camera using the same

A video projecting apparatus comprises a housing-like chassis which encases projecting lenses and cathode-ray tubes and is provided with a front portion having a movable reflecting mirror. With this video projecting apparatus, the reflecting mirror can be moved to an extended position for projection onto a screen and a contracted position in a front portion of the chassis by a driving mechanism attached to the reflecting mirror.

Video projecting apparatus

A color video projector as disclosed which includes a cabinet having a depressed top deck, and a mirror carrying L-shape mounting board pivotally carried by a pair of slidably movable arms, guide grooves on the side edges of said top deck and guide pins protruding from the mounting board ride in the guide grooves during withdrawal of the mounting board. The board can only be rocked to its upright position when the arms are fully extended and can only be rocked back to its original position when the arms are fully extended and from which position the mounting board can be pushed back into the cabinet with the mirror above the top deck.
