         Appeal No. 1999-1893                                                    
         Application No. 08/192,306                                              


              Claim 48 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it          
         reads as follows:                                                       
              48.  An image data processing apparatus having an editing          
         machine for processing digital image data and transferring the          
         image data between a plurality of memory cards in which                 
         digital image data is recorded and a plurality of external              
         devices in which digital image data is recorded, said editing           
         machine comprising:                                                     
              a plurality of holding parts for holding said memory               
         cards;                                                                  
              a plurality of connecting parts for respectively                   
         connecting the plurality of external devices to the editing             
         machine;                                                                
              first data processing means for selectively reading the            
         digital image data from said plurality of memory cards held by          
         said plurality of holding parts, compressing the digital image          
         data by a discrete cosine transform system or expanding the             
         data by a reverse discrete cosine transform system, and                 
         transferring the data to said external devices connected to             
         said plurality of connecting parts;                                     
              second data processing means for selectively reading said          
         digital image data from said external devices connected to              
         said connecting parts, compressing the digital image data by            
         the discrete cosine transform system or expanding the data by           
         the reverse discrete cosine transform system, and transferring          
         the data to said memory cards held in said holding parts; and           
              third data processing means for selectively reading the            
         digital image data from said memory cards held in said holding          
         parts, compressing the digital image data by the discrete               
         cosine transform system or expanding the data by the reverse            
         discrete cosine transform system, and transferring the data to          
         the memory cards other than said memory cards from which the            
         digital image data has been read out.                                   

                                        2
