Abstract
The invention relates to simulators, for example, simulators of a ship's bridge and the visual display of the scene as viewed from that bridge. Elementary images are juxtaposed, forming an image of a large angle where, without discontinuity, a moving object appears on several television monitors positioned adjacent one another. The images are read simultaneously from 'synthetic images' which are stored in a memory. The moving portion of the image, e.g. a ship, is inlayed in a background or environment image. The image of the object is furnished from a camera which is focused on a model of the object, in the example a ship or ships. There is a synchronization between the delayed line signal of the television camera in relation to the synchronizations of the signals throughout the system.
