摘要:
The MPEG standard for compressing audio and video signals allows video compression with variable bitrate coding. It yields a profit of approximately 30 % as compared with a constant bitrate. Variable bitrate compression provides the possibility of storing complete films on an optical disc. To play back the bit stream at a variable bitrate, the playback device comprises a buffer (4). This buffer is read by the MPEG decoder (5) and burst-wise filled with new data. In a possible embodiment, the bitrate is accommodated in the bit stream. The playback device comprises detection means (8) for detecting the bitrate and reads the buffer at this bitrate. The bit stream which has been read can be applied to a standard MPEG decoder.

A method of transcoding coded video signals and a corresponding device for implementing this method are described. The device comprises a decoding and encoding sub-assemblies (201, 202) and, within said encoding sub-assembly, quantizing means (23) and bitrate control means. This bitrate control means comprises, before said quantizing means (23), means for computing a local target value for encoding each sub-picture of the images to which video signals correspond and means for controlling the step size during the quantizing step.

Decoding method and device with which it is proposed, in order to reduce the switching time from one among n input digital video bitstreams corresponding to n programs to another one, to use under the supervision of control means (30) including a control unit (31) and a switch (32), while a selected digital video bitstream is presented for decoding and display, (n-1) buffers (22, 23) for the (n-1) extra bitstreams, these extra buffers being dimensioned so that they always comprise at least an intra frame, and preferably the most recent one, of each incoming extra bitstream. In a simpler embodiment where the next program switched to is one up or one down, only one or two extra buffers are necessary, subject to the knowledge of an information on how the incoming programs may be accessed, i.e. according to some defined order. Application: reception equipments for decoding of digital television programs in accordance with the MPEG standard.
