摘要:
A method and an apparatus for verifying a multiplexing schedule of digital signals and an apparatus for multiplexing the digital signals are provided. The verifying method includes the processes of extracting access unit information about each decoding unit from each elementary stream of the digital signal, determining schedule information about time division of each elementary stream, based on the access unit information, and verifying whether or not the multiplexing schedule for generating the multiplexed stream is valid, based on the access unit information and the schedule information. The verifying apparatus includes an extracting section for extracting access unit information about a decoding unit from each elementary stream of the digital signal, a determining section for determining schedule information about time division of the elementary stream, based on the access unit information, and a verifying section for verifying whether or not the multiplexing schedule for generating the multiplexed stream is valid, based on the access unit information and the schedule information.

Unauthorized copying of a digital video program is prevented by designating a first block and a second block of data in a bit stream encoded by a fixed length code. A portion of the first block is selected as key data and inserted into the second block to indicate that the digital video program is a copy and to prevent illegal copying.
摘要:
In multiplexing a plurality of coded data, degrees of difficulty of coding of the data are measured, coding rate for each of the data is decided by allotting a certain target bit rate with a ratio of the each of the measured degrees of difficulty of coding so that the bit rate of the multiplexed data becomes equal to the target bit rate, the data is then coded in response to the decided coding rates, and the coded data is multiplexed before being outputted to a transmission line or recording medium. Thus, the bit rate of the outputted data is always kept at the target value to improve the usage rate of a transmission line.

Apparatus and method for coding a moving picture signal and decoding a coded moving picture signal. The input picture signal of higher resolution is down-sampled at respective ratios in the longitudinal and lateral directions to generate a picture signal of lower resolution having a different aspect ratio. The coded picture signal of lower resolution is up-sampled at respective ratios in the longitudinal and lateral directions to generate a picture signal of higher resolution having a different aspect ratio.

An encoding and decoding apparatus and method which has the primary benefit over the prior art of not requiring storage of the nonlinear sequence of numbers representative of the quantization characteristics. The hardware required for quantization is reduced and inverse quantization may be achieved using shifting operations and a multiplier of up to half the scale compared to conventional encoding/decoding methods and encoding/decoding apparatus.

Only monitor side is caused to have decoding unit portion for bit stream, and reading unit portion for bit stream, decoding unit portion for bit stream and recording unit portion for bit stream are linked by digital network. Reproducing unit is caused to have a function to reproduce bit stream as it is, and recording unit is caused to have a function to record bit stream as it is. Bit stream reproducing unit and bit stream decoding unit of the monitor side, and such reproducing unit and bit stream recording unit are linked by high speed digital network. Thus, in the case where there is constructed a moving picture reproducing system such that a plurality of moving picture reproducing units are connected to one moving picture display unit to utilize source desired to see by selection of switch, cost can be reduced and degradation of the picture quality can be prevented.

According to the present invention, when an ATV signal is recorded by a digital VCR in the conventional television signal record mode, variable speed reproduction data composed of HP data containing I frame is redundantly recorded in a surplus record area that is formed by the difference between the transmission rate of the ATV signal and the transmission rate of the conventional compressed digital video signal. When variable speed reproduction is performed, the variable speed reproduction data is reproduced.

In an encoder, an input picture of a non-interlace structure is sampled by down sampling to form an interlace picture, and the interlace picture is encoded. The encoded data are decoded to form an interlace decoded picture, and the interlace decoded picture is sampled by up sampling and utilized as a predictive picture upon encoding of the non-interlace input picture. In a decoder, a bit stream corresponding to an interlace picture of a low resolution is decoded into an interlace decoded picture. The interlace decoded picture is sampled by up sampling and is utilized as a predictive picture upon decoding of a bit stream corresponding to a non-interlace picture of a high resolution.
摘要:
The present invention provides a transcoder having a MPEG decoder and a MPEG encoder, for changing a GOP structure and the bit rate of an encoded bitstream obtained as a result of an encoding process. The MPEG encoder receives a past encoding parameters generated at a past encoding process as a history information, and performs a present encoding process by using the past encoding parameters selectively so that the present encoding process is optimized. Furthermore, the encoder describe the past encoding parameters into the encoded bitstream as the history information so as to reuse the history information in advance encoding process. The picture quality of the video data does not deteriorate even if decoding and encoding processes are carried out repeatedly by the transcoder.
