ABSTRACT:
A digitized image previewer framestore apparatus enables a photofinisher to rapidly view what is seen by a high resolution CCD image sensor (but at a lower resolution) on a preview display. A selected portion or selected portions of the imagery data derived by way of the array of pixel elements of the high resolution sensor are controllably coupled to a pair of `ping-pong` write/read memories. The image resolution or storage capacity of each of memory is less than that of the high resolution CCD sensor and is considerably less than that of the 3072.times.2048 resolution of a high resolution color output image to be stored on compact disc. Depending upon the selected portion of the image incident on the CCD sensor is to be viewed, respective pixel and line rate clocks for the CCD sensor are subsampled and coupled to address generating counters used to access the ping-pong memories. As a result, only those CCD pixels for which (subsampled) clock signals have been generated will be displayed. By `ping-ponging` write-in and read-out of the memory pair, a first low resolution image may be written into one of the memories, while a second low resolution image is being rapidly read out and displayed. Then, at the end of the write-in frame interval, the contents of the newly loaded memory are rapidly read out to the preview display, while the next selected low resolution portion of the sensor image is being written into the memory the contents of which were previously read out and displayed.
