Abstract
An apparatus in which a luminance signal is recorded onto a first storage tube, the two chrominance signals are compressed to one-half, respectively, in time axis to record alternately such compressed chrominance signals onto a second storage tube, and the signals are repeatedly read out from the first and second storage tubes in order to reproduce the colored still picture image, thereby reproducing the picture image without deteriorating resolution and setting up the apparatus to be free from trouble.
Claims3
An apparatus for reproducing a colored still picture image comprising:
- a first signal storage tube for recording the luminance signal,
- a circuit for compressing two kinds of chrominance signals in the time axis respectively, and for converting the compressed signals into time-sequential signals by alternately taking out the compressed signals,
- a second signal storage tube for recording the time-sequential signals,
- a circuit for expanding the signal read out from said second signal storage tube in the time axis, and for separating the signal into two kinds of chrominance signals, and
- means for reproducing a colored still picture from the two kinds of expanded and separated chrominance signals and from the signal read out from said first storage tube.
