Abstract

The connections among a plurality of dynamic image generating means, a plurality of work stations, a plurality of temporary storage means and a plurality of video tape recorders are switched from one to another a matrix switcher, so that the number of the video tape recorders may be smaller than the total number of the dynamic image generating means and the work stations. The dynamic image generating means are connected via the temporary storage means to the video tape recorders, and the video tape recorders are connected via the temporary storage means to the work stations, so that wait time at the time of image recording or reproduction can be shortened.
