In an image data processing apparatus, a conversion unit generates first image data of a first image format and second image data of a second image format and supplies the first and second image data on a time division basis with respect to each image taken by using an image sensor. An operating unit acquires the first and second image data produced on a time division basis from the conversion unit, performs a process for displaying the taken image on a display device by using the first image data, and performs a process for storing the taken image in a storage device by using the second image data.

The present invention relates to a library apparatus for accommodating different types of recording medium, such as magnetic tapes, in combination. By a method for reading markers, in which the type of the recording medium and its volume label are recorded, by moving a reader, and a construction for sorting and accommodating the different types of recording medium, the markers can be read at a high speed.

A library unit including a plurality of frames and a plurality of cell shelves, each of the cell shelves having a plurality of cells arranged in an X-Y plane. The plurality of cell shelves are located in at least one of the plurality of frames, at least one accessor having a picker portion, and a plurality of first reference flags, each of which having substantially the same X-axis coordinate are provided with each of the frames with a spacing in the Y-axis direction. According to the library unit, the plurality of first reference flags are detected by a sensor attached to the picker portion, and a relative inclination angle of the accessor with respect to the Y axis in the X-Y plane is calculated from a difference in position in the X-axis direction of plurality of reference flags in order to obtain a correction value in the X-axis direction for each cell.

The present invention provides a cartridge carrying system for performing carriage control so as to enable carriage of a cartridge even when a gap is made between arms and the cartridge. In particular, the cartridge carrying system includes: a cartridge holding mechanism having two arms, the cartridge holding mechanism grabbing a cartridge stored in a first predetermined position at one end of each of the two arms by turning the two arms around respective supporting points in directions opposed to each other; an arm turning mechanisms; a carrying mechanism for carrying the cartridge in such a manner that the cartridge is drawn into or from a space between the two arms; a carriage driving mechanism for driving the carrying mechanism; and a carriage completion monitoring mechanism for monitoring if the cartridge is carried to a second predetermined position, and the cartridge carrying system controlling so that the operation for carrying the cartridge to the second predetermined position is continued, when it is detected that the cartridge is not carried to the second predetermined position within a given time.
