Abstract
This invention relates to a system for adjusting the relative angular positions of two video cameras directed towards the same object, characterized in that it comprises:--structure for synchronizing the actions of said cameras;--structure for displaying the video signals issuing from said cameras, these display structures being common to said cameras;--and a device for addressing to said display structure a succession of images which come, alternately, from one and the other of said cameras. The system of the invention is more particularly applicable to the adjustment of the axes of two apparatus, for example the firing axis of a weapon and the axis of sight of a viewfinder.
