Abstract

A signal editing and processing technique for converting a plurality of continuous signals, especially long term continuous audio signals respectively relating to short term still picture signals, to a transmitting signal in which signal transmission periods and pause periods are provided, having an integer ratio of time duration with each other, wherein other signals, especially the picture signals, should be transmitted. All continuous signals are sequentially converted to digital signals addressed in accordance with relevant continuous signals, and once stored in arbitrary positions of a memory, and then read out in a given multiplexed sequence corresponding to the transmission periods of the transmitting signal. The read out multiplexed digital signals are sequentially stored in another memory, and then read out with a given high speed equal to that of the signal transmission. The digital signals read out with the high speed are stored in still another memory, and then read out repeatedly to form the transmitting signal.
