A film image input system is disclosed which can use a film cartridge constructed in such a manner that it requires a small space for storing a developed still photo film and also can protect the film against dust and damage, and also which allows the film cartridge to be mounted into a cartridge mounting part very simply and positively. The film image input system 1 is arranged such that it reproduces the image of the developed still photo film 2 on a video monitor 18. The system uses a film cartridge 6 which comprises a cartridge main body having an outlet opening 7 for sending out the film 2 in the longitudinal direction thereof, a single spool which fixes one end of the film 2 in the longitudinal direction thereof and round which the whole length of the film 2 can be wound, and support means for supporting the spool in such a manner that it can be rotated in both directions. The film image input system includes film supply means 13 which is engageable with the spool of the film cartridge 6 to rotationally drive the spool in a direction to send out the film 2 from the cartridge main body and in a direction to rewind the film back into the cartridge main body. Due to this, the film image can be reproduced by one touch on the video monitor 18.
A system for reproducing on a display means an image of a developed still photo film, said system using a film cartridge including a film cartridge main body for housing said developed still photo film therein, said film cartridge main body having a cylindrical outer periphery, except at a point where said developed still photo film exits said film cartridge, which completely surrounds said developed still photo film on all sides thereof and an outlet opening to send out said developed still photo film, said outlet opening extending out in a direction tangent to the outer periphery of said film cartridge main body and a single spool rotatably provided in said film cartridge main body, said single spool having one end of said developed still photo film affixed thereto in the longitudinal direction thereof and allowing winding of the whole length of said developed still photo film around said single spool, whereby the whole length of said developed still photo film is wound around said single spool to make it possible to put said developed still photo film under safekeeping, said system comprising:
A film feeding unit using a film cartridge including a film cartridge main body for housing a still photo film therein, said film cartridge main body having a cylindrical outer periphery, except at a point where said still photo film exits said film cartridge, which completely surrounds said still photo film on all sides thereof, and an outlet opening to send out said still photo film in a direction tangent to said outer periphery of said film cartridge main body, and a single spool rotatably provided in said film cartridge main body and having one end of said still photo film affixed thereto in the longitudinal direction thereof, said film cartridge allowing winding of the whole length of said still photo film around said single spool, whereby the whole length of said still photo film is wound around said single spool and is housed in said film cartridge, said film feeding unit comprising:
A film feeding unit, said film feeding unit using a film cartridge including a film cartridge main body for housing said still photo film therein, said film cartridge main body having a cylindrical outer periphery, except at a point where said still photo film exits said film cartridge, which completely surrounds said still photo film on all sides thereof, and an outlet opening to send out said still photo film in a direction tangent to said outer periphery of said film cartridge main body, and a single spool rotatably provided in said film cartridge main body and having one end of said still photo film affixed thereto in the longitudinal direction thereof, said film cartridge allowing winding of the whole length of said still photo film around said single spool, whereby the whole length of said still photo film is wound around said single spool and is housed in said film cartridge, said film feeding unit comprising:
A system for reproducing on a display means an image of a developed still photo film coated with a magnetic recording layer, wherein magnetic information of each frame is recorded in said magnetic layer, said system using a film cartridge including a film cartridge main body for housing said developed still photo film therein, said film cartridge main body having a cylindrical outer periphery, except at a point where said developed still photo film exits said film cartridge, which completely surrounds said developed still photo film on all sides thereof and an outlet opening to send out said developed still photo film in a direction tangent to said outer periphery of said film cartridge main body, and a single spool rotatably provided in said film cartridge main body and having one end of said developed still photo film affixed thereto in the longitudinal direction thereof, said film cartridge allowing winding of the whole length of said developed still photo film around said single spool, whereby the whole length of said developed still photo film is wound around said single spool to make it possible to safekeep said developed still photo film, said system comprising:
A system for reproducing on a display means an image of a developed still photographic film coated with a magnetic recording layer, wherein magnetic information of each frame is recorded in said magnetic layer, said system using a film cartridge including a film cartridge main body for housing said developed still photo film therein, said film cartridge main body having a cylindrical outer periphery, except at a point where said developed still photo film exits said film cartridge, which completely surrounds said still photo film on all sides thereof and an outlet opening to send out said still photo film in a direction tangent to said outer periphery of said film cartridge main body, and a single spool rotatably provided in said film cartridge main body and having one end of said still photo film affixed thereto in the longitudinal direction thereof, said film cartridge allowing winding of the whole length of said still photo film around said single spool, whereby the whole length of said still photo film is wound around said single spool and is housed in said film cartridge, said system comprising:
