摘要:
A high definition colour television transmission system in which wide band luminance information (Y, Figure 1) is utilised to produce a first luminance information portion comprising lower frequency (0 to 3.8 MHz) and middle frequency (3.8 to 5.5 MHz) components and a second luminance information portion comprising the middle frequency (3.8 to 5.5 MHz) and upper frequency (5.5 to 8.8 MHz) components. The first luminance information portion (Y1, Figure 2) is transmitted by way of a first transmission path together with a colour subcarrier (f sc ) modulated by colour information. The bandwidth of the colour information is such that the modulation components lie substantially within the bandwidth of the middle frequency components. The second luminance information portion is frequency shifted to lie within 0 and 5 MHz (Y2, Figure 3) and is transmitted by way of a second transmission path. The two transmissions may also carry sound signals (f s1 , Figure 1, f s2 , Figure 3). The two transmissions may be jointly received for the provision of a high definition display but the invention has the distinct advantage that the signal of te first transmission path may be received alone by currently manufactured television receivers for reproduction of a display of a quality which is accepted as normal.
摘要:
A dual mode encoding/decoding technique for use in digital systems wherein transmitted digital words are limited, on average, to an allotted number of bits. The transmitted digital words are coded into first and second modes. The first coding mode utilizes predictive diferential coding to provide a precision which can be greater than that obtainable by coding information solely with the allotted number of bits, while the second mode assures at least a minimum precision for the allotted number of bits. The first coding mode is transmitted as long as a preselected precision is provided. If not, the second coding mode is transmitted. In the disclosed embodiment, the dual mode encoding/decoding technique is applied to the transmission of color video signals.
摘要:
A high definition colour television transmission system in which wide band luminance information (Y, Figure 1) is divided to produce a first luminance information portion (below 3.8 MHz) and a second luminance information portion (between 3.8 and 8.8 MHz). The first luminance information portion (Y1, Figure 2) is transmitted by way of a first transmission path together with a colour subcarrier (f sc ) modulated by colour information. The bandwidth of the colour information is such that the modulation components lie outside the bandwidth of the first luminance information portion. The second and higher frequency luminance information portion is frequency shifted to lie within 0 and 5 MHz (Y2, Figure 3) and is transmitted by way of a second transmission path. The two transmissions may also carry sound signals (fsi, Figure 2; f S2 , Figure 3). The two transmissions may be jointly received for the provision of a high definition display but the invention has the distinct advantage that the signal of the first transmission path may be received alone by currently manufactured television receivers for reproduction of a display of a quality which is currently acceptable.
摘要:
This concerns an apparatus and method for encoding and/or decoding video signals for use in a compatible high definition television system or in other applications. In a form of the disclosure there is provided an encoder which includes means (300) for storing an input frame as an array of digital pixel values, and means (600) for interrogating the stored array and for generating a sum signal (I) and at least one difference signal (X, Y, Z). The sum signal is representative of the sum of the pixel values in a group of pixels. The difference signal (e.g. X n ) is representative of the difference between thetotal of the pixel values in some of the pixels (Ao n , Bo n ) in the group and the total of the pixel values of other pixels (A in , Bin) in the group. The sum signal and the difference signal are generated for a multiplicity of groups which cover the video frame. The sum signal is generated at a relatively high information refresh rate and the difference signal is generated at a relatively low information refresh rate. The decoder includes means for storing the sum signal and each of the difference signals, and means for combining the sum and difference signals to obtain an output pixel value for each pixel of an output video frame. In another form of the invention (Fig. 20), electronic processing is performed to obtain low and high spatial frequency component representations of the image represented by the video signal, and these are stored in a digital memory in the encoder. Output frames of the low spatial frequency component representation are produced at a fast frame refresh rate, and output frames of the high spatial frequency component representation are produced at a slow frame refresh rate.

Light patterns are produced by directing a television ;amera (10) at the screen (20) of a television monitor (12) iriven by the video output signal of the camera (10). A beam splitter (24) is located in the optical path of the camera (10) between the camera (10) and monitor (12). The beam splitter 24) and a light source (26), off-axis with respectto the camera 10), may be employed to introduce light, varying in position or intensity, into the system to produce varying patterns on he television monitor (12).

A vector quantizer receives a plurality of input signals (4) in block form and operates to determine an output vector (15) having the least distortion with respect to an input vector by various techniques. A coded output or output vector codetable address is output from a coder (7) of the device for receipt by a decoder (8) which constructs a proper output vector signal (15).

摘要:
A high definition television transmission system in which a wide band interlaced television signal (Figure 2) having 1249 lines per field is divided to provide first and second interlaced television signals each having 625 lines per field and consequently reduced bandwidth. Adjacent lines of the first television signal have their low frequency information (0-3 MHz) (Figure 2) derived from alternate lines in the wide band signal whilst the corresponding information for adjacent lines in the second television signal (Figure 4) is derived from the intervening lines in the wide band signal. The high frequency information (3-5.5 or 6 MHz) for the lines of both the first and second television signals (Figure 7) is derived from the average of the corresponding information in adjacent lines of the wide band signal. The first television signal also contains a colour subcarrier which is modulated by the average of the colour information in adjacent lines of the wide band signal (Figure 7). The two television signals may be jointly received for the provision of a high definition display but the invention has the distinct advantage that the first television signal may be received alone by currently manufactured television receivers for reproduction of a display of a quality which is currently acceptable.
