Abstract
A still picture to television signal conversion system for scanning a still picture to produce a video signal includes an image pickup device for scanning a still picture to form a video signal, which represents the still picture. A rotatable recording medium is caused by a drive unit to rotate. A recording unit is operatively connected to the image pickup device to record the video signal on the recording medium. A reproducing unit reads the video signal out of the recording medium for playback. A control circuit is constructed to enable the drive unit to rotate the recording medium at a first speed, cause the image pickup device to scan the still picture in synchronism with the rotation of the recording medium, and cause the recording unit to record the video signal on a predetermined recording unit of the recording medium. The control circuit is also constructed to cause the drive unit to rotate the recording medium at a second speed, and cause the reproducing unit to repeatedly reproduce the video signal which is stored in the recording unit and represents one still picture.
