the digital image is stored on a storage device associated with the image
processing device. This digital image on the storage device is converted
into television signals and supplied to a television receiver where it
can be displayed. Another aspect of the present invention provides an
apparatus for processing these images. This apparatus includes a first
input terminal capable of receiving digital image data, a second input
terminal capable of receiving commands from a user, an output terminal
capable of supplying digital image data to a television receiver external
to the apparatus, a storage device associated with the apparatus capable
of storing the digital image data, and a processor capable of executing
instructions in response to commands received over the second input
terminal that store the received digital image in the storage device,
converts the digital images into television signals, and transmit the
television signals to the television receiver for display thereon.
