Abstract: A video signal reproducing apparatus for reproducing video signals from a tape-shaped recording medium with a rotary head. A memory capable of storing at least a video signal corresponding to one field is provided. The transport speed of the tape-shaped recording medium is alternately set to a second speed higher than the tape transport speed at the time of recording and a first speed lower than the second speed. The video signal reproduced from the recording medium transported at the first speed is written in the memory, and the video signal read out of the memory is output when the recording medium is transported at the second speed.

Abstract: An apparatus for restoring an original image signal from a transmitted image information signal formed by dividing one picture amount of image signal composed of a plurality of picture element signals into a plurality of blocks each composed of a plurality of picture element signals and high-efficiently coding, for every block, the plurality of picture element signals constituting a respective one of the plurality of divided blocks is arranged to judge whether the picture element signals in each block are restorable or not on the basis of the inputted image information signal, to detect the presence or absence of motion in an image represented by the picture element signals of a block in which the picture element signals have been judged not to be unrestorable, to select either the picture element signals of a block belonging to the same picture as the unrestorable picture element signal block or the picture element signals of a block belonging to another picture according to a result of detection, and to out
