Abstract
This output device includes a read means which reads in image data of a first aspect ratio from an input port or from a medium. Moreover, this output device includes an image synthesis means which creates combined image data of a second aspect ratio by adding mask bands at the sides of, or above and below, an image which is based upon the image data of said first aspect ratio. Furthermore, this output device includes an output means which outputs this combined image data at said second aspect ratio. And the output means is connected to a display device which processes said combined image data which has been outputted at said second output ratio, and displays the result upon a screen. Moreover, the image synthesis means changes the color of said mask bands to a different color at a predetermined timing during a predetermined time period.
