PURPOSE: To increase the fineness of details of picture and the sharpness of profile, by giving a specified relation between the number of scanning lines of picture input device using pickup medium such as two dimensional solidstate image sensors and that of a video recorder.

CONSTITUTION: A memory 9 in which video information from a two dimensional solidstate image sensor 8 is recorded and stored, is set to an information playback device 11. The information of memory 9-1 is obtained from a video input device 10-1, and the relation of B=mA is present between the number of scanning lines A of the video input device and the number of scanning line B of the video recorder, and the relation of B=n(A1, A2...) (where; An is the number of scanning lines of each input device) is present in the relation with other memory 9-2. The signal from an A/D converter 12 is fed to a memory 14 such as RAMs designated with counters 15, 16, and after converted into an analog signal by a D/A converter 18, the signal is input to a video signal correction circuit 19.
