Abstract
In a still picture reproduction system used for presentation of pictures in museums, a particular still picture can be retrieved rapidly by applying a retroactive reproduction function. When the mode is switched from a normal reproduction mode to a retroactive reproduction mode by a mouse, only the first still picture of a series of still pictures reproduced in the normal reproduction mode is reproduced and displayed on an HDTV. These first still pictures in each of a number of series are selectively and manually switched in sequence.
