Electron film viewer system

An electronic film viewer system, equipped with a film cartridge with a processed film loaded therein in a way to have a magnetic track as a magnetic storage medium, for enabling frame images to be optically taken out of the film and displaying a converted image signal on display means, the electronic film viewer system comprising:

• film feeding means for feeding the film;
• image inputting means for optically taking images out of the film and for converting these images to image data;
• information reading means for reading information on the images recorded on the magnetic track;
• image memory means for storing the read image data and information on the image;
• multi-image creating means for, when the read image data corresponding to a plurality of frames is stored in the image memory means, automatically performing one of the following two operations relating to a multi-image area creation, without external designation or setting by a user:
• dividing a memory area necessary to display one display image area of the display means into a plurality of portions, sequentially storing each image data corresponding to one frame into a corresponding portion and automatically creating a multi-image area in the image memory means to allow images corresponding to the plurality of frames to be displayed, and
• creating a multi-image area in a way to have image data below the number of the portions construct said one display image area and storing the image data in the image memory means at a time;
• and
• the display means including an encode function for creating an image based on the image data stored as a multi-image area in the image memory means, for displaying a plurality of frame images and frame numbers one image screen at a time.
