Abstract
A photographed image reproducing apparatus is used to reproduce photographic images recorded on successive frames of a film having magnetic tracks on which information is writable for each frame. The apparatus includes a read/write device for reading or writing frame information on the magnetic track. The frame information is read or written in one transporting direction while the image is sensed in the other transporting direction. Also, an information reader is provided at an upstream portion while the information writer is provided at a downstream portion to enable the reading and writing to be executed at the same time. The apparatus considerably reduces the reproduction time.
Claims31
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing an image recorded on successive frames of a film having a storage medium which frame information for each frame is readable from and writable on, the frame information being located separately from the image and related to the image of each frame, the reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a sensor for optically sensing the image on the film;
- a reader which reads first frame information recorded on the storage medium;
- a transporter which transports the film;
- and
- a controller for controlling the sensor and reader so that the sensor senses the image when the film is transported in a first direction, and the reader reads said first frame information when the film is transported in a second direction which is opposite the first direction.
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing an image recorded on successive frames of a film having a storage medium which frame information for each frame is readable from and writable on, the frame information being located separately from the image and related to the image of each frame, the reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a sensor for optically sensing the image on the film;
- a writer which writes first frame information on the storage medium;
- a transporter which transports the film;
- and
- a controller for controlling the sensor and writer so that the sensor senses the the image when the film is transported in a first direction, and the writer executes the writing when the film is transported in the second direction which is opposite the first direction.
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing an image recorded on successive frames of a film having a storage medium which first information and second information for each frame are readable from and writable on, the reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a sensor for sensing the image on the film;
- a transporter which transports the film;
- a reader which reads the first information from the storage medium, said reader being disposed at a position upstream of the sensor with respect to a film transporting direction;
- a writer which writes the second information on the storage medium, said writer being disposed at a position downstream of the sensor with respect to the film transporting direction;
- and
- a controller for controlling the reader and writer so as to execute reading of the first information and writing of the second information at the same time.
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing an image recorded on successive frames of a film having a storage medium which frame information for each frame is readable from and writable on, the reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a sensor for sensing an image on the film line by line at a predetermined sensing position;
- a transporter which transports the film in a specified transporting direction;
- a reader disposed upstream of the sensing position in the transporting direction at a distance of one frame for reading first frame information recorded on the storage medium;
- and
- a writer disposed downstream of the sensing position in the transporting direction at a distance of one frame for writing second frame information on the storage medium.
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing an image recorded on successive frames of a film having successive storage mediums which frame information for the respective frames is readable from and writable on, the frame information including first information and second information, the reproducing apparatus comprising:
- reading means for reading the first information and the second information for one frame recorded on a corresponding one of the storage mediums;
- changing means for changing the second information read by the reading means;
- writing means for writing the first information read by the reading means and the second information changed by the changing means on the storage medium corresponding to the one frame;
- and
- a controller for controlling the reading means so as to read the first information and the second information for another frame recorded on the corresponding storage medium at the same time when the writing means executes the writing.
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing an image recorded on successive frames of a film having successive storage mediums which frame information for the respective frames is readable from and writable on, the frame information including first information and second information for each frame, the reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a reader which reads the first information for one frame recorded on a corresponding one of the storage mediums;
- setting means for setting the second information for the one frame;
- a writer which writes the first information and the second information on the storage medium corresponding to the one frame;
- and
- a controller for controlling the reader so as to read the first information for another frame recorded on the corresponding storage medium at the same time when the writer executes the writing.
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing an image recorded on successive frames of a film having successive storage mediums which frame information for the respective frames is readable from and writable on, the frame information including first information and second information for each frame, the reproducing apparatus comprising:
