Abstract
A video image reading apparatus stores video data from a reader of the video image of an original document and outputs the stored video signals as a standard television video signal by successively reading the video signals from the video memory in a timing relationship complying with a given standard television format. The present invention makes it possible to reduce the storage capacity of the video memory by comparing the lower-order bits of the video data from the video image reader with a reference data which cyclically changes and by adding a result of comparison to the higher-order bits to store the sum to the video memory.
