Abstract
Abstract A picture processing apparatus is provided which includes a first frame memory for storing digitalized picture information and includes SAMs (serial access memories) which are capable of reading and writing parallel data with respect to the frame memory, whereby the data are transferred to a second frame memory, following an address offset, to copy the picture information. High-speed processing for translating a picture can thus be executed.
