Image edit processing system

An image edit processing system comprising:

• an information transmitting path;
• a first image edit processing apparatus, which includes:
• first information transmitting path connecting means for allowing information for editing an image to flow through said information transmitting path or for acquiring information from said information transmitting path;
• first information analyzing means for analyzing information for editing the image obtained from said information transmitting path;
• image-editing-information generating means for editing the image according to an instruction from said first information analyzing means and for generating information for editing the image;
• first image storing means for storing for a fixed period of time the image edited by said image editing apparatus;
• and
• first image-diverting means for using the image stored in said first image storing means and the image generated by the information for editing the image generated by said first image-editing-information generating means are identical, and
• an image storing and editing apparatus, which includes:
• image storing means for storing the image;
• second information analyzing means for analyzing information for editing the image, second image-editing-information generating means for editing the image according to an instruction from said second information analyzing means;
• and
• second information-transmitting-path connecting means for allowing the image edited by said first image edit processing apparatus to flow through the information transmitting path and for acquiring information from said information transmitting path,
• wherein said information transmitting path is disposed externally of said first image edit processing apparatus and said image storing and editing apparatus, said image apparatuses being connected together via the information transmitting path.
