Abstract:
An image processing apparatus comprising:a) a first DMA controller that executes a DMA transfer input into said apparatus of image data encoded in block units stored in a first memory; b) a decoder, arranged to receive and decode the encoded image data inputted by said first DMA controller, in the block units; c) a converter, arranged to receive and convert the decoded image data outputted from said decoder into image data of a raster scan sequential order, wherein said converter executes conversion processing based on a predetermined data amount; d) a varying unit, arranged to vary the converted image data outputted from said converter, so as to vary each image data of the predetermined data amount outputted from said converter into image data of a data amount different from the predetermined data amount; and e) a second DMA controller that executes a DMA transfer output of the varied image data.
