Abstract
A video printer has two video input terminals and two audio input terminals to which a video signal and an audio signal respectively are applied from a picture signal source. The input terminals are each connected to one of a first and a second selector which select the signal source. The output of the first selector associated with the video input terminals is connected to a third selector via a video amplifier and also connected to the third selector via an analog-to-digital converter, a memory for storing a video signal from the signal source, and a digital-to-analog converter. The video signal stored in the memory is sent to a thermal head under the control of a memory control and printed on a recording medium thereby. The output of the third selector is connected to a video output terminal, so that the video signal selected by the third selector is outputted. The output of the second selector is connected to an audio output terminal via an audio amplifier. Hence, the audio signal applied to either of the audio input terminals is amplified and then fed out via the audio output terminal.
