Abstract

A device for receiving a television image and for processing it in real time for display on a different type of screen. The incident television image is digitized and then a micro-zone, selected from a series of predefined micro-zones stored in a screen memory, is assigned to each pixel in the incident image. The image is written into the memory, micro-zone by micro-zone, and then read for display on the screen. Each micro-zone is selected to represent the incident pixel in a way appropriate to the format conversion and/or transformation to be applied to the image.
