Abstract

A picture scanning and recording system in which a scanning for "sharp" signals and a scanning for "unsharp" signals are alternately conducted, each in half periods of scanning, by means of a common photoelectric converter. One of these two series of signals is temporarily stored in a memory for synchronous processing with the other series of signals that is just being produced in such a manner that no inconformity is brought about into recording signals of detail contrast.
