Retail video recording booth

Abstract

A retail audio-video recording booth includes walls which define an enclosed area for a customer to make an audio video recording. A door assures privacy. A seat or bench allows the customer to sit or stand while he makes the recording. When the customer inserts a selected amount of money into a money receptacle, a video electronic circuit is activated. When the customer inserts a tape in a tape receptacle, the customer may make an audio/visual recording, play or hear a recording already recorded on the tape. If a recording is to be made, the recording which is being made may simultaneously be observed by the customer on a monitor. A camera is provided to make the recording, and a VCR is provided to show the recording. A two-way mirror is provided to transmit the picture being made to the VCR and the monitor at the same time. In a preferred embodiment a second mirror is used to transmit the picture from the monitor to the viewing window, whereby any letters or numbers which may be used in the recording will appear in the correct form, and will not appear reversed or upside down from the manner in which they were displayed in making the recording. Also in a preferred embodiment, after a recording is made the customer may either review the recording or rerecord over the recorded material.
