Abstract
There is provided delay means for allowing a delay difference to be provided between the timing of image size information which is set into writing side memory control means and the timing of image size information which is set into reading side memory control means in a manner such that the image size when data is written into first and second field memories and the image size when the data is read out from the first and the second field memories coincide. The image size information is set into the writing side memory control means and the reading side memory control means so as to have a delay difference between them. The image size is set by controlling the first and the second field memories in accordance with the image size information by the writing side memory control means and the reading side memory control means. A switching control of every field is performed in a manner such that while the writing process is performed to one of the field memories, the reading process is performed to the other field memory.
