Abstract:
An image transcription method of transcribing an image of the dye on a printing sheet outputted by e.g., a video printer onto a substrate for transcription, such as a cup of pottery or the like. For transcription, a resin is coated on the surface of the substrate for transcription to form a reception layer. This reception layer is dried in an electrical oven to form a support for transcription. A printing sheet carrying an image of a sublimable dye is stacked on the reception layer of the support for transcription and pressured to the reception layer under application of heat and pressure. As the resin for the reception layer, the acrylic resin or the epoxy resin or both are employed. If the resin composed mainly of the acrylic resin is employed, the viscosity of the resin is set to 43 to 52 seconds in terms of the Ford cup viscosity, and the resin discharge pressure from a spray gun is set to 35 kg/m +/- 0.01 kg.cm . The distance between the spray gun and the substrate for transcription is set to 100 mm +/- 5 mm, while the drying temperature is 170 to 180 DEG C. The thickness of the reception layer is 10 to 50 mu m. After transcribing the image of the sublimable dye to the reception layer, a transparent film is bonded, if necessary, as a protective film on the reception layer.

Abstract:
A buffer (4) has a read and write control (8, 7), an input (6), an output (5), and a transfer port (9). An SCSI interface (20) is coupled to port (9) and the read/write control (8, 7). The SCSI interface (20) implements transfer commands for transfers via the port 9 with an undefined delay. An RS 422 interface is coupled to the read/write control (8) and implements transfer commands for transfers via the input 6 and output 5, the commands being implemented with a small, defined delay synchronously with a video sync signal (SYNC).
Abstract:
An image transfer method used to transfer a dye image on a printed sheet, which is outputted from, for example, a video printer, onto a transfer base, such as a ceramic cup. The transfer method comprises applying a resin to the surface of the base to form a receiving layer, drying the base thus treated in an electric furnace to form a substrate for transfer, laying a printed sheet having a sublimable dye image on the receiving layer of the substrate, and applying heat and pressure to the laminate formed. An acrylic resin, an epoxy resin, or both these resins are used as the resin for the receiving layer. For example, when a resin containing an acrylic resin as a main component is used, the conditions of the transfer include a viscosity of the resin of 43-52 sec in the Ford cup test, a pressure of the resin discharged from a painting gun of 35 kg/m +/- 0.01 kg/m , a distance between the painting gun and the base body of 100 mm +/- 5 mm, a drying temperature of 170-180 DEG C, and a thickness of the receiving layer of 10-50 mu m. After the sublimable dye image is transferred to the receiving layer, a transparent film is bonded as necessary as a protective film to the upper surface of the receiving layer.

Abstract:
A buffer arrangement has a read and write control plus processor (8, 7), an input (6), an output (5), and a transfer port (9). An SCSI interface (20) is coupled to port (9) and the read/write control (8, 7). The SCSI interface (20) implements transfer commands for transfers via the port 9 with an undefined delay (coarse control). An RS 422 interface (71) is coupled to the read/write control (8, 7) and implements transfer commands for transfers via the video input (6) and video output (5), the commands being implemented with a small, defined delay (fine control) synchronously with a video sync signal (SYNC) (72). Application is to a video tape recorder/player in a television studio such as a newsroom.
Abstract:
Pieces of video material are accessed by means of a first database storing edit decision lists containing time codes of edit points and information identifying the material. Using the first database, a piece of video material is accessed and using time codes of edit points shots within the material are selected and a frame from a shot is extracted and data reduced. The data reduced frame is stored in a second database with information derived from the first database to form a catalogue of the shots.
