Abstract

A device for converting a horizontal scanning of successive lines of N data into a saw tooth scanning of stripes having a height of M lines. This device comprises a MN word memory wherein are sequentially written the first MN data, then wherein the following data are sequentially written while the existing data are read out at same successive addresses A.sub.i,j. The value of i determines the sequence number of the data of the memory (0<i<MN-1), and the value of j determines a stripe number (1<j<n). An address generator supplies addresses A.sub.i,j so that A.sub.i+1,j =(A.sub.i,j +x.sub.j) Modulo(MN-1), x.sub.j being a number such that x.sub.j+1 =N.x.sub.j Modulo(MN-1) and x.sub.j =1.
