Abstract
Abstract A film image signal generation apparatus, includes: a film displacement device which displaces a developed film which has a magnetic recording layer to an image area; an image signal conversion device which converts an image of a film frame which is opposed to the image area into a first image signal; a magnetic writing device which rewrites old data written in the magnetic recording layer of the film into new data; a data storage circuit which stores the old data and the new data; an image signal generation circuit which generates a second image signal which shows data change information, based upon the old data and the new data which are stored by the data storage circuit; and a control circuit which controls the magnetic writing device, the data storage circuit, and the film displacement device so as to rewrite the old data which is recorded upon the magnetic recording layer into the new data which is stored in the storage circuit, and controls the image signal conversion device and the image signal generation circuit so as to output the second image signal at a predetermined time.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
204 words
A film image signal generation apparatus, comprising: a film displacement device which displaces a developed film which has a magnetic recording layer to an image area; an image signal conversion device which converts an image of a film frame which is opposed to said image area into a first image signal; a magnetic writing device which rewrites old data written in said magnetic recording layer of said film into new data; a data storage circuit which stores said old data and said new data; an image signal generation circuit which generates a second image signal which shows data change information, based upon said old data and said new data which are stored by said data storage circuit; and a control circuit which controls said magnetic writing device, said data storage circuit, and said film displacement device so as to rewrite said old data which is recorded upon said magnetic recording layer into said new data which was previously generated and is stored in said storage circuit, and controls said image signal conversion device and said image signal generation circuit so as to output said second image signal at a predetermined time which is different from a time when said new data is being generated.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
204 words
A film image signal generation apparatus, comprising: a film displacement device which displaces a developed film which has a magnetic recording layer to an image area; an image signal conversion device which converts an image of a film frame which is opposed to said image area into a first image signal; a magnetic writing device which rewrites old data written in said magnetic recording layer of said film into new data; a data storage circuit which stores said old data and said new data; an image signal generation circuit which generates a second image signal which shows data change information, based upon said old data and said new data which are stored by said data storage circuit; and a control circuit which controls said magnetic writing device, said data storage circuit, and said film displacement device so as to rewrite said old data which is recorded upon said magnetic recording layer into said new data which was previously generated and is stored in said storage circuit, and controls said image signal conversion device and said image signal generation circuit so as to output said second image signal at a predetermined time which is different from a time when said new data is being generated.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
110 words
A film image signal generation apparatus according to claim 1, wherein: said old data and said new data each relate to a single film frame; and said control circuit controls said magnetic writing device, said data storage circuit, and said film displacement device so as to rewrite said old data which is recorded upon said magnetic recording layer into said new data which is stored in said data storage circuit one frame by one frame, and before each rewriting one frame by one frame, controls said image signal conversion device and said image signal generation circuit so as to output said second image signal without outputting said first image signal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
100 words
