Abstract
A video camera with a VTR for recording/playback of images communicates with a camera/VTR station by means of an opto-electronic link. A first opto-electronic link operates when the camera is positioned away from the camera/VTR station, and a second opto-electronic link operates when the camera is positioned on the camera/VTR station. The first opto-electronic link operates when the video camera does not record.
