1. A method of recording and reproducing video displayable information comprising the steps of:
- recording a plurality of composite full-frame video signals along respective parallel tracks of a record card wherein each of said composite full-frame video signals containing picture signal elements and synchronizing signal elements applicable, when reproduced with said picture signal elements, for effecting the generation of images on a monitor screen of the information defined by said picture signal elements,storing said record card with a plurality of similar record cards containing recordings of composite full-frame video signals of other displayable information, andwhen it is desired to obtain selected recorded information and to monitor same, retrieving said card from storage and presenting same to a card reading apparatus,controlling the operation of said card reading apparatus to selectively scan the track of said card presented thereto which track contains the full-frame video signal defining the information to be monitored,generating on the output of said card reading apparatus the full-frame video signal reproduced in scanning the recording of the selected full-frame video signal andpresenting the reproduced full-frame video signal to a video monitor and using same to generate a viewable image representative of the selected recorded information.

Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for recording information in the form of video signals on record members such as cards and reproducing selected portions of the information recorded as visually monitorable information on a viewing screen such as an electronic display or cathode ray tube. The information is recorded in the form of tracks of recordings which may be selectively scanned by a video transducer to generate electrical signals which may be used to modulate the reading means of an electronic display to present a visually monitorable or photographically reproducible image on said display.

6. A method of recording full frame video signals along a selected recording area of a record card comprising:
-
presenting a record card to a card recording means having a recording transducing means, detecting the presence of said card at said card recording means and generating a control signal when said card is predeterminately aligned within said card recording means, applying said control signal to control the operation of a means for generating a full frame video picture signal and causing said card recording means to be modulated by said full frame video picture signal and to effect a recording representative of said full frame video picture signal along a selected recording area of said card. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
