A recording system comprises an image pick-up recording device to record the picture information obtained through the image pick-up on a recording medium by a recording head; and a control device to change the relative location of the head and the medium after the information of one picture has been recorded in a predetermined location on the medium and to prevent the next picture information from being read out during the period of time until the completion of that displacement. The recording system may be provided with a memory for the picture information and a control device for allowing part of the picture information to be recorded in the selected portion on the medium. The control device also permits the other portion of the picture information stored in the memory to be recorded in the other portion on the medium after changing the relative location of the head and the medium.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an improved recording system in which signals obtained from an information source can be stably recorded in different portions on a recording medium, and more particularly to a recording system in which a plurality of picture information obtained from image pick-up devices such as a CCD or the like can be stably recorded during a short period of time.
2. Background of the Invention
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view showing a first embodiment of a recording system according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the constitution of the control circuit 16 shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows driving timing charts of the control circuit of FIG. 1;
The present invention will now be described in detail hereinbelow with respect to preferred embodiments.
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a recording system including an image pick-up system to which the present invention is applied. In FIG. 1, a reference numeral 100 indicates a CCD of the frame transfer type as illustrated in U.S Pat. No. 4,504,855, and a numeral 1 shows an image sensing array (namely, a photoreceptive section) through which the light incidence is controlled by means of a shutter SH. A numeral 3 denotes a storage array as a light-shielded memory means, and the electric picture information formed in the image sensing array 1 is temporarily memorized in this storage array 3. The output terminals of horizontal transfer registers 2 and 4 of one line are connected respectively to amplifiers 5 and 6. These horizontal shift registers 2 and 4 are also shielded against light.
The charges in the image sensing array 1 and storage array 3 are respectively shifted in the directions indicated by the arrows in FIG. 1 by means of shift pulse .phi..sub.1 and .phi..sub.3. The charges in the horizontal shift registers 2 and are respectively shifted in the directions indicated by the arrows in FIG. 1 by means of shift pulses .phi..sub.2 and .phi..sub.4.
