Abstract
A method and an apparatus are described for digitization of an image and for transmission to a host device of the digitized image via a buffer memory having a signal storage capacity that is lower than the data content of said digitized image. Different portions of the image are stored in the memory during successive separated periods of time. To this end the image is repeatedly scanned by means of radiation emitted by radiation projecting means that are transported at a constant scanning speed from a boundary outside the image beyond the image portion to be stored.
