Abstract
An imaging system in which, if image data of variable resolutions is to be handled in keeping with the increasing resolution of the image data, the processing is executed efficiently without lowering the processing capability of the respective circuits. A memory controller time-divisionally transmits an acknowledge signal to the respective circuits within a range of the bandwidth limitation of an image data bus in which image data can be furnished to the respective circuits, and manages control so that the respective circuits will execute the pre-set processing. The memory controller has access to data in the respective circuits in real-time to cause image data to be written from the respective circuits to the image memory or to be read out from the image memory and sent to the respective circuits.
