Abstract
A motion pictures sending apparatus has a camera interface for receiving an image signal from a camera, a frame conversion unit for carrying out coordinates conversion on the received image signal and generating image data, a memory for storing the image data, an image processing unit for processing the image data from the memory and providing processed data, an output interface for transferring the processed data to a communication interface unit, and a memory control unit for stopping the updating of image data to the memory in response to an input signal. When required, the apparatus keeps the same image in the memory and continuously sends the image so that the quality and clarity of the sent image may gradually improve.
