    摘要: A signal reproduced from an ADV head, which is advanced a recording head is error corrected in the ECC decoder. The compression encoding process is decompressed in the compression decoder. The output signal of the ECC decoder is input to the selector. A reproduction signal of the CNF head reproducing a recording data just after recording is supplied to a selector through a ECC decoder and a compression decoder. A bypass signal from the ECC encoder of the recording side is supplied to the the ECC decoder as it's another input. In the ECC decoder, two types of data are written to two different areas of the memory. One of the data is read out selectively and supplied to the selector. The selector is switched from the output of the ADV head to the bypass signal at an in-point. The preview operation can be attained by the picture that has been compressed and decompressed.

    摘要: A fast, raster-based, enhanced, data compression technique for the printing of compound documents, including pre-processing images in an original page description form of the data before the page data is rasterized, greatly improving compressibility. Unscaled image data is filtered before it is rasterized to the final printing resolution. The filtering specifically enables a separate, near loss-less, compression algorithm to operate on a rasterized page description with high compression ratios. A data compression technique enables a system to compress compound document using a relatively fast and simple algorithm with near loss-less print quality.

    摘要: A video encoder for changing the bit rate at a halfway point in a GOP by using a TM5 (Test Model 5) bit rate control algorithm is provided. Using a bit quantity Rj(+1) allocated to non-coded pictures at and after a coding target picture (j+1), a target bit quantity T(j+1) allocated to the coding target picture (j+1) is calculated. In the case where pictures up to a picture (j) at a halfway point in a GOP are coded at a first bit rate and the picture (j+1) is coded at a second bit rate, the bit quantity R(j+1) allocated to non-coded pictures for calculating the target bit quantity R(j+1) is corrected to a bit quantity R(j+1) for non-coded pictures at the time when the pictures from a leading picture of the GOP are coded at the second bit rate. Thus, seamless bit rate change can be carried out at a halfway point in the GOP by using the fixed rate algorithm such as TM5.

    摘要: In order to obtain a high-quality image when an encoded stream which is encoded using MPEG is played back at variable speed, a stream conversion apparatus is provided which converts an arrangement of DCT coefficients of a source encoded stream into an arrangement suitable for variable-speed playback. Specifically, a header part is separated from an elementary stream of MPEG, and DCT coefficients arranged from a low order of a spatial frequency to a high order are extracted by zigzag scan at intervals of a plurality of DCT blocks which form a macro block. These DCT coefficients are rearranged from a low order to a high order across a plurality of DCT blocks. The DCT coefficients rearranged in this manner are packed into a stream, and the separated header part is added, forming a converted elementary stream. This converted elementary stream is recorded. During high-speed playback, even if there is an error in the middle of the macro block, since decoding is possible using a low-order DCT coefficient, high-quality image video data can be obtained.

    摘要: A data structure of an image signal includes a reproduction cycle identifier indicating whether the cycle of image display for each frame is variable or not. When the display cycle identifier indicates that the display cycle is fixed, display cycle data is inserted in a header of the coded image data, and data relating to the frame number is inserted in each frame. On the other hand, when the display cycle identifier indicates that the display cycle is variable, display time data is inserted for each frame. Therefore, when decoding and displaying the coded image data having a fixed display cycle, the decoded image data can be displayed by a simple circuit structure, i.e., based on the display cycle data and the frame number data having a relatively small data quantity (bit number), without referring to the display time data having a relatively large data quantity for each frame. Furthermore, this data structure can be applied to a coded image signal having a variable display cycle.

    摘要: A system for processing information, such as audio/video information utilized in a DVD player, can be implemented without the need for a buffer, such as a track buffer, located between the source of audio/video information and the demultiplexer which parses a packet of data. The packet of data can then be parsed into audio, video, subpicture, or navigation, portions and stored for decoding. In one embodiment, a DVD player utilizes a circuit that is synchronized to the speed of the DVD drive rather than to the speed of the decoders for each portion of data.

    摘要: At least one program is selected from MPEG encoded transport streams carrying a plurality of packets, and is recorded/reproduced without a need to determine the contents of those transport streams. When an MPEG encoded transport stream containing at least one program is selected, additional data is attached to each packet of this transport stream. The additional information indicates how many programs are contained in the selected MPEG encoded transport stream; indicates an error in the MPEG encoded transport stream; and indicates a transition point representing a beginning of a program in the MPEG encoded transport stream.

    摘要: An data processing apparatus for performing signal processing on an input signal having a finite length. The apparatus performs a wavelet transform to divide the input signal into sub-bands for signal processing. An extrapolation process is performed to limit transform artifacts at the leading and trailing ends of each sub-band of the finite length signal. An extrapolation processing discriminator is used to determine whether the extrapolation process satisfies a complete reconstruction condition, whereby an output signal will be a substantial reconstruction of the input signal. The extrapolation process is chosen from among four different loopback methods.
