Picture reading apparatus

Abstract

Plural pictures recorded on an optical film are read, in frame units, by a scanner,to convert them into electric picture data to store those picture data into a main memory,A memory control section,controls read-out and write-in operations of the picture data obtained from the scanner,with respect to the main memory,Further, the memory control section,controls the write-in and read-out operations of the picture data to thereby obtain inverted picture data in which (relative position of) the picture data is inverted in regard to upper and lower directions thereof. A system control section,controls the memory control section,in accordance with inverting command from a keyboard,so as to obtain inverted picture data. Since the write-in or read-out operation of the picture data with respect to the main memory,is controlled by the system control section,so as to invert (relative position of) picture data in regard to upper and lower directions thereof in accordance with the inverting command from the keyboard,in the case where inverted picture in which the upside is turned down is displayed on a display section,the inverting command is given, thereby making it possible to display, on the display section,erecting (normally standing) pictures of respective frames in which relative position in regard to upper and lower directions is inverted, and to record the erecting pictures of respective frames onto a recording medium by a disc drive
