Picture reproducing apparatus and method.

摘要

A picture reproducing apparatus includes a video signal reproducing circuit (3) for reproducing a video signal recorded in a video tape, and an image memory (6) for storing at least a one-frame video signal. In a normal reproduction operation, a video signal from the video signal reproducing circuit is output to a monitor. In a search operation, a video signal stored in the memory (6) is selected and output to the monitor (18).
