Optical viewing arrangement, remote-control unit and viewing system having an image recording function

An optical viewing arrangement has an image recording function and each telescope tube thereof has a beam path through an objective and an ocular and has a sensor component assembly for outcoupling and converting a component light beam into digital data. A camera electronic component assembly converts and compresses the digital image data of the sensor component assembly. The assembly has a communications interface for coacting with a communications interface of an external remote-control unit for digital data transmission. The interface coacts with the interface of the external optical viewing arrangement for digital data transmission as well as a touch operator-controlled panel for inputting and/or selecting operator-controlled functions, a microprocessor for data processing incoming and outgoing data, a storage unit for storing the digital data and a display.
