Abstract: There is provided an image reproduction system whereby a moving picture and a still picture can be selectively reproduced from a tape-shaped recording medium having images recorded thereon in sequential frames and which also enables simple and automatic frame aligning.

Abstract: A video signal processing system for reproducing a colorplexed composite video signal obtained by colorplexing a frequency shifted chrominance signal shifted to a lower frequency band and a luminance signal by using frequency interlacement, the composite video signal being recorded in the form of an angular modulation signal on a recording medium, and converting the reproduced signal into a standard color television signal. In this system, the chrominance signal band component is extracted from the reproduced composite video signal, and the extracted signal is frequency converted into a signal in the frequency band of the chrominance signal in the standard color television signal. The frequency converted signal is then coupled to a comb filter to separate the chrominance signal. The chrominance signal thus obtained is combined with a signal obtained by removing the chrominance signal component from the reproduced composite video signal, thereby recovering the standard color television signal.
