Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A imaging device ( 10 ) includes an imaging section ( 101 ) for imaging a subject at either one of a first period (high speed) and a second period (ordinary speed) of longer than the first period, an operating section ( 110 ) for setting the imaging period of the imaging section, a storing section ( 105 ) for storing the video signal imaged at the first period, a converting section ( 104 ) for converting the video signal of the first period imaged by the imaging section into a video signal of the second period, a recording section ( 107 ) for recording therein the video signal from the converting section or the storing section with the recorded video signal divided and managed in a plurality of reproducing regions, and a reproduction sequence generating section ( 112 ) for generating a reproduction sequence signal showing the reproduction sequence of each reproducing region of the video signal recorded in the recording section. After the video signal from the converting section ( 104 ) is recorded in the recording section, the video signal recorded in the storing section ( 105 ) is recorded in the recording section.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An imaging device capable of recording a video signal generated by imaging a subject at a first frame rate and a video signal generated by imaging a subject at a second frame rate slower than the first frame rate, the imaging device comprising: an operating section that sets an imaging frame rate at the first frame rate or the second frame rate; an imaging senor that generates a video signal of the imaging frame rate set by the operating section; a…
