Abstract
A memory storing image data at a m1.times.n1 (horizontal to vertical) dot resolution is read out at a horizontal scanning rate corresponding to a first clock signal at a frequency f.sub.1. Data read out from the memory is latched in a first storage device in response to the first clock signal. An output from the first storage device is latched in a second storage device in response to a second clock signal at a frequency f.sub.2. The rate f.sub.2 is selected to be less than f.sub.1 and to correspond to the desired display rate of the display device having a pixel resolution of m2.times.n2. f.sub.1 and f.sub.2 are related such that f.sub.1 /f.sub.2 =(m1/m2). The difference in frequencies causes some of the X address from the memory to be dropped and not stored in the second storage device thereby resulting in the desired data conversion in the X direction. The Y address is incremented by an amount equal to n1/n2 to affect the resolution conversion in the Y direction.
