IMAGING AND PLAYBACK SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging signal recording and playback system which directly acquires an imaging picture material which is equal to a telecine picture for converting a film picture to a television picture, and securing linearity of both luminance and a chroma level with low distortion. SOLUTION: The imaging and playback system includes an imaging device, an optimum adjustment point storage and playback device for controlling an imaging property of the imaging device, and a single or a plurality of imaging property parameter variation devices for varying parameters of the imaging property. An optimum adjustment point control device calibrates the imaging property of the imaging device by controlling at least one imaging property parameter variation devices using an optimum adjustment value either recorded in the imaging device in advance or obtained by a calculation value.
