ABSTRACT:
Pixel data is selected from among first and second dynamic-image memories (DI1, DI2) and a static-memory (SI). In the invention, (a) first and second window area memories (WA1, WA2) for designating shapes and sizes of windows to which video dynamic-images are assigned respectively, (b) first and second dynamic-image area memories (DA1, DA2) for designating memory locations of data stored in both the dynamic-image memories, and (c) a priority control register for designating which video dynamic-image should be displayed in front when video dynamic-images overlap with each other are provided, whereby display for every pixel is executed according to a logical AND value of read-out data from WA1 and read-out data from DA1, a logical AND value of read-out data from WA2 and read-out data from DA2, and read-out data from the priority control register. Thus two video dynamicimages assigned to their respective windows are simultaneously displayed while subjecting them to overlap control, and special techniques including auto-zooming can be accomplished in real time.
