Abstract
A special effect apparatus for use in production of a television program or the like, including a latch circuit to obtain delayed video data by delaying input video data for a predetermined time. The input video data and such delayed video data are outputted selectively via switch means at the proper timing that conforms to a desired mosaic pattern, so that continuous video data can be produced for a desired period of time to form a mosaic display element of a desired size and/or shape.
