ABSTRACT:
An electronic camera includes three detachable units, a photographing unit, a record/play-back unit and a picture monitor unit. The photographing unit converts an output signal from a camera into a luminance signal and color difference signals. The record/play-back unit records an output signal from the photographing unit on a disk and is capable of reading a signal previously recorded on a disk. The picture monitor unit displays a picture responsive to a signal from the photographing unit or a signal from the record/play-back unit. The aforesaid units are provided with arrays of terminals electrically connected to electrical devices within their unit. A group of unique connectors establish electrical connections between the terminals of two of the one units. The connectors are designed to be coupled between any one of the associated arrays of terminals. One type of connector provides direct electrical connections between terminals of the associated arrays. A second of connector type includes electrical connections similar to those provided in the first connector type and further includes a built-in sync generator for generating a plurality of sync signals, said second connector having terminals for connecting said signals to predetermined ones of the terminals in an array of terminals provided along the housing of a unit. The use of these separate connectors reduces the number of sync generators required for the camera system and eliminates the need to build generators into each camera unit.
