    摘要: Arrangements for recording and reproducing datareduced videoinformation are described. The recording arrangement comprises a datareduction unit (3) and a formatting unit (4). The formatting unit (4) generates packets (P.sub.i) each having a first, second and third packet portion (PP.sub.1, PP.sub.2 and PP.sub.3). The first packet portion comprises a sync word (SW) and an identification word. The second packet portion comprises datareduced videoinformation of a first and a second datablock (MB.sub.0, MB.sub.1). A datablock comprises DC coefficients (DC.sub.i) and most significant and least significant AC coefficients (MAC.sub.i, LAC.sub.i). The videoinformation comprised in the first and the second datablock are stored in the second packet portion (PP.sub.2), such that the DC coefficients of the first datablock (DC.sub.0) are stored first, the plurality of most significant AC coefficients (MAC.sub.0) of the first datablock are stored next, the DC coefficients of the second datablock (DC.sub.1) are stored last in the second packet portion, and the plurality of most significant AC coefficients (MAC.sub.1) of the second datablock are stored before the DC coefficients of the second datablock in the second packet portion. This enables an improved reproduction of the videosignal in a feature mode.

    摘要: Device for transmitting or storing digital television pictures in which a maximum possible number of data of a group of transformed pixel blocks (DB.sub.1 . . . DB.sub.12) is transmitted in the form of variable-length code words (V.sub.1 . . . V.sub.N) in a corresponding channel block of predetermined length (FIG. 5A). If all code words of the groups of blocks are accommodated in the corresponding channel block (FIG. 5C), the channel block will also comprise surplus data of other blocks. The boundary, within a channel block, between these code words and surplus data is transmitted in the form of an address (P) which is accommodated at a predetermined position of the channel block. If the channel block length is inadequate for transmitting all code words of the group of blocks, the channel block (FIG. 5B), will comprise at least the code words which are representative of the DC coefficient and a number of important AC coefficients of each block. Said code words are accommodated in successive channel block sections (L.sub.1 . . . L.sub.12), with a code (C) for the length of these channel block sections being transmitted at predetermined positions of the channel block.

    摘要: Video images are encoded by transform coding, resulting in data blocks each including a DC-coefficient and a plurality of AC-coefficients. The coefficients of a number of said transform blocks are variable-length encoded and transmitted. In order to avoid a complete loss of datablocks in case of a transmission error, the most significant codewords of a group of blocks are transmitted first so as to achieve that at least the DC-level of the blocks is likely to be retained. The coefficients may also be recorded on a videorecorder. Fast playback of recorded images so encoded, leads to very poor quality because some data blocks are not being read in the search mode. To improve this quality the DC-coefficients and if desired predetermined AC-coefficients of selected ones of the transform blocks to be recorded on one track are packed together to form a DC-packet and such packet is recorded on a selected part of the track. The DC-packet is chosen such that it can be read out as a unit at various search speeds, and can be read partially at higher search speeds.

    摘要: Field or frame memories are often used in television receivers for video signal processing functions, such as noise reduction and/or flicker reduction. Television receivers also have graphic features such as teletext, menu-driven control systems, multilingual subtitling, an electronic TV-Guide, etc. In a method of processing television picture signals including both video (VID) and graphic (GFX) information, the video and graphic signals are individually compressed in accordance with different (lossy and loss-less, respectively) compression algorithms (22;24), stored in the same field or frame memory (21), and decompressed (23;25) after processing (20). As such, a significant reduction of memory capacity is achieved without adversely affecting the graphics quality. The method is not only applicable to locally generated graphic signals (TXT,OSD) but also to graphic information which is detected (26) as being embedded in a received television signal.

    摘要: A motion detector, particularly for use in a television system for transmitting television pictures in a digital form, is adapted to partition each picture into pixel blocks, to subject each pixel block to a modified intraframe transform for determining a first coefficient which corresponds to the basic picture having the lowest horizontal and highest vertical frequency, and to determine a plurality of further coefficients which correspond to basic pictures also having the lowest horizontal frequency, but a vertical frequency which is lower than that for the first coefficient. The motion detector signalizes the presence of motion within a pixel block if the first coefficient has a large absolute value, but if simultaneously none of the further coefficients has a sufficiently large absolute value. If the first coefficient has a sufficiently large absolute value, absence of motion is nevertheless signalized if simultaneously one of the further coefficients also has a sufficiently large absolute value.

    摘要: An encoding circuit transforms a picture signal into blocks of, for example, 8*8 coefficients, in which each block of coefficients is read motion- adaptively. In the case of motion within a sub-picture, the block of coefficients is read in such an order that the obtained series of coefficients includes, as it were, two interleaved sub-series. The first series starts with a dc component. In a first embodiment, the second series starts with the most relevant motion coefficient. In a second embodiment, two interlaced sub-fields are separately transformed and the second series also starts with a dc coefficient. As a result, the coefficients are transmitted as much as possible in their order of significance. This particularly produces the largest possible clusters of zero value coefficients. Such clusters are transmitted as one compact run-length code so that an effective bit rate reduction is achieved, also for moving pictures.

    摘要: In a television transmission system a digital luminance signal Dy and two digital color difference signals DCHR(1) and DCHR(2) are applied to a distribution circuit 3 at the transmitter end, which digital color difference signals are applied thereto possibly after having been subjected to a vertical decimation operation with a decimation factor R. The distribution circuit 3 partitions all these signals into groups of Q sample per group. After receiving an even number of luminance groups and an even number of chrominance groups, a first half of this number of luminance groups and a first half of this number of chrominance groups is applied to a first auxiliary picture signal output 3(4) of the distribution circuit 3, while simultaneously the other half of the number of luminance groups and the other half of the number of chrominance groups is applied to a second auxiliary picture signal output (3(5) of the distribution circuit. A transformer for performing a forward two-dimensional Q*Q transform is connected to each of these auxiliary picture signal outputs.
