Information signal reproducing apparatus with noise processing

In an image processing system, a color or monochrome image region in an image is discriminated, and communication charges are displayed, as required when regions of the image are encoded by appropriate encoding methods in units of the regions, and are transmitted to a designated destination. An operator switches an encoding method with reference to the displayed information, thereby determining appropriate encoding methods in units of displayed regions. Therefore, a transmission that sufficiently reflects the operator's intention is achieved.

Image processing apparatus and method therefor

A video signal recording apparatus which records a video signal on a recording medium after separating a fixed time portion of an input video signal and extending the time axis of the separated video signal.

Video signal recording apparatus

An electronic video camera which picks up an object image and records on a recording medium an image signal corresponding to the object image picked up is arranged to record an information signal indicative of an image pickup sensitivity along with the image signal when the latter is recorded, to reproduce the image signal and the information signal recorded on the recording medium and to control the characteristic of a signal processing action on the reproduced image signal according to the reproduced information signal. The arrangement enables the electronic video camera to effectively prevents image quality deterioration, so that the image signal can be reproduced with a high image quality.

Electronic video camera with recording and reproducing functions

An image signal recording and reproducing system is arranged to record an image signal on a recording medium and to reproduce a recorded image signal from the recording medium. The system adds a pilot signal having a single frequency to at least one of the horizontal and vertical blanking portions of an image signal, and records the thus-added image signal on the recording medium. Accordingly, it is possible to eliminate time base variations which may occur during recording or reproduction without influencing the image signal.

An image signal recording apparatus for recording on a recording medium an image signal obtained by sensing the image of an object is arranged to generate first and second sensed image signals having a first resolution, to generate a third sensed image signal having the first resolution by performing a computing process on the first and second sensed image signals, to form a first recording image signal corresponding to the first and second sensed image signals and a second recording image signal corresponding to the third sensed image signal, and to selectively record on the recording medium the first recording image signal or the second recording image signal. The invented apparatus arranged in this manner retains interchangeability with the conventional format and yet is capable of recording on the recording medium an image signal with a higher degree of image quality than the conventional apparatus.

An image signal recording and reproducing system of this invention includes an apparatus for reproducing an image signal from a recording medium on which the image signal is recorded in a recording format selected between a first recording format for forming tracks on the recording medium by recording the image signal for one picture on the recording medium and a second recording format for forming, on the recording medium, tracks greater in number than the tracks formed in the first recording format. This system has n heads each for reproducing an image signal by tracing a track on the recording medium (n: an integer greater than one), and is arranged to detect a state of reproduction performed by each of the n heads prior to a reproduction processing operation when image signals are reproduced from a plurality of tracks formed on the recording medium in the second recording format, select m heads from among the n heads in accordance with a result of detection made by the detection circuit (m: a positive integer less than n), and perform a reproduction processing operation by using the selected m heads. With this arrangement, it is possible to reproduce image signals recorded on a magnetic medium through a head having optimal characteristics from among a plurality of heads, whereby the deterioration of image quality due to nonuniformity in the characteristics of each head is prevented and the image signals can be reproduced with high quality.
