Abstract: A system for recording a high resolution still video image consists of a memory for storing the image. The memory is addressed so that portions of the high resolution image may be read out to form video sub-images corresponding to a conventional video format, such as the NTSC standard. Each of these standard format sub-images is then stored on a video disk. Upon playback of the video disk to retrieve the images, each of the sub-images is stored in a memory in a fashion such that when all of the sub-images are so stored the entire memory may be read out to produce a reconstituted version of the high resolution video image.

Abstract: A video system for storing high resolution still images has a camera which produces separate video signals each representing a separate color component image. These image signals are recorded separately and during retrieval sequentially played back. Each image signal is temporarily stored and then simultaneously displayed to form a high resolution image.
