摘要:
The scrambling security of a sync suppressed television signal is enhanced by eliminating the fixed time relationship between the normal color burst component and synchronization information in successive lines of the television signal. Transmission of a first plurality of television lines is delayed to achieve a cumulative delay corresponding at least to the duration of a color burst component of the television signal. The transmission of a second plurality of television lines is subsequently accelerated to reduce the cumulative delay. By repeating the delaying and accelerating steps, the location of the color burst component is varied within the television signal over time. Derivation of a substitute horizontal synchronization pulse from the color burst component is thereby prevented.

摘要:
Method and apparatus are provided for transmitting, receiving, and reproducing digital audio signals as discrete carriers similar to standard FM broadcast signals. An audio signal is digitized using, for example, adaptive delta modulation techniques. Several channels of audio information, such as left and right stereo channels and a second audio program ("SAP") channel can all be digitized and incorporated onto the digital broadcast signal carrier. The digitized audio signal may be modulated using multiphase modulation of the carrier of an FM broadcast band signal. A plurality of audio channels may be digitized and transmitted over the airwaves, or over a cable transmission network. Channels of nondigitized audio channels may be interspersed with the digitized audio channels. Source material for the digitized audio channels may be provided to a cable headend over the cable transmission network outside the FM band, and rebroadcast over the cable transmission network in the FM band. Advantageously, an "extended" FM band between 72-120 MHz is employed to provide more channels than the "standard" FM band of 88-108 MHz.
