Abstract
Apparatus for storing image information in a recording medium, and outputting image information based on editing information includes dividing structure for dividing input image information. A memory is provided for storing each of the divided input image information. The memory includes a plurality of probes, each probe being arranged to oppose the recording medium. The memory also includes scanning structure for relatively moving the probes and the recording medium so that the probes scan a surface of the recording medium. The memory also includes recording and reproducing structure for recording the divided information on the recording medium by using the probes, and for reproducing the divided information recorded on the recording medium. Control circuitry is provided for controlling the scanning structure according to scanning procedures for each of the probes based on the editing information.
