Estimating the term…
A color separation optical system for a color television camera of relay lens type in which a set of color separating optical elements are provided between a single first relay lens and three second relay lenses for three primary colors. The first relay lens is located substantially on the image plane of the taking lens of the television camera. A field lens is provided between the taking lens and the first relay lens. The power of the field lens is determined according to the focal length of the taking lens. The field lens is removed when the exit pupil of the taking lens is registered with the entrance pupil of the first relay lens. In this case, the first relay lens is axially moved toward the taking lens to make the front focal plane of the first relay lens registered with the image plane of the taking lens. The axial movement of the first relay lens is conducted by means of a mechanism which is operable from outside of the television camera.
A color separation optical system for a color television camera of relay lens type wherein a set of color separating optical elements for separating light from a taking lens into red, green, and blue components of light by reflection and transmission are provided between a single first relay lens and three second relay lenses for the three colors, a removable field lens is provided between the taking lens and the first relay lens, and the light flux between the first relay lens and the second relay lenses is collimated, wherein the improvement comprises means for allowing axial movement of said single first relay lens with respect to the taking lens of the television camera, and means for axially moving said first relay lens, whereby the first relay lens is axially moved independently of the second relay lenses with respect to the taking lens of the camera to the position where the exit pupil of the taking lens if registered with the entrance pupil of the first relay lens.
