    Abstract: To encode an image divided into blocks of a set of images, each block being encoded according to one of a plurality of encoding modes including at least one temporal correlation prediction encoding mode utilizing a plurality of images, a motion estimation vector search area is defined in a second image of the set of images, distinct from the first image and previously encoded according to a predefined sequence of encoding images of the set of images, a portion at least of the search area having substantially the shape of an ovoid, the data from the search area is stored in a cache memory, a motion estimation vector of the current block is determined by a search in the search area in the cache memory, and the motion estimation vector is used to decide the encoding of the current block according to the one of the plurality of encoding modes.

    Abstract: An apparatus for capturing video broadcasting signals comprises a plurality of capture channels, each channel producing respective video transport streams as inputs to a multi-channel virtualization module. Each channel comprises: an input interface powered by a low-noise power supply arranged to receive a respective modulated video broadcasting input signal within an input frequency band; a single input, dual output distribution amplifier arranged to produce first and second amplified input signals within a satellite broadcasting frequency band and within a cable and/or terrestrial broadcasting frequency band, respectively. A first tuner is configured to receive and downconvert the first amplified input signal to generate a first baseband signal; a second tuner is configured to receive and downconvert the second amplified input signal to generate a second baseband signal; and a demodulator is configured to receive the baseband signals as input and to generate the respective video transport stream.

    Abstract: The disclosure lies in the field of coding image data, scalable in image resolution, such that one or more successive downsamplings are performed from a source signal of maximal image resolution to a minimal image resolution, in order to encode a base layer (L0) corresponding to this minimal resolution, the base layer (L0) serving as a reference for one or more enhancement layers (L1, L2) to be used for decoding at a terminal having a screen of higher image resolution than the minimal image resolution. From said successive downsamplings, the base layer (L0) and the one or more enhancement layers (L1, L2) are constructed, and then an encoded bit stream is prepared in order to be transmitted, comprising data of the base layer and of the enhancement layer or layers. In particular, the downsampling step comprises the application of an adaptive low-pass filter to the image data from the downsampling.
