ABSTRACT:
A circuit for using a flying spot scanner of one scan density to produce rasters of a different density in the process direction by using a fractional number of scans per raster. In the usual case, where m scans will be used to create n rasters, the number of scans m will normally be greater than the number of rasters n. Then, there will be m
scans per raster. This will necessitate dividing some scans into two parts, the first part of the scan being used to scan the video data of the previous raster and the second part of the scan being used to scan the data of the next raster. Therefore, a circuit for switching data to each scan from one line of data to the next as the scan transitions from one raster to the next is required in this system. A process direction encoder can be used to determine when the raster boundaries are reached, and therefore when the data is to be switched.
