Appeal No. 96-0139
Application 08/037,683
This reference discloses video camera circuitry for used in a
VTR having an electronic viewfinder (col. 2, lines 58-65).
The circuitry shown in Figure 25 includes a solid state
imaging device 202, an A/D converter 501, a digital processing
circuit 502, whose output is connetced to an electronic
viewfinder 209 via a D/A converter 503 and a gate circuit 601.
However, even if it is assumed for the sake of argument that
it would have been obvious in view of Maemori to implement
Kinugasa’s viewfinder 209 as an LCD, the resulting combination
would not satisfy the "bidirectional communication"
requirement of the appealed claims.
