    摘要: A converter with which an extended definition (ED) video signal may be converted into a signal that may be recorded by a video recorder and with which a signal read out by a video reorder may be converted to an ED video signal. The ED video signal includes first lines having a first luminance signal (Y.sub.1) and a chrominance signal (C), and second lines having no chrominance signal but a second luminance signal (Y.sub.2) in the form of a modulated luminance signal with suppressed carrier. The converter includes a separation unit which receives the ED video signal from an input terminal and has three outputs. A first output couples the first luminance signal to a first output terminal via a first signal combination unit. A second output couples the chrominance signal to a second output terminal via a second combination unit. The third output is coupled to the first output terminal via a mixer circuit and the first combination unit.

    摘要: A system for recording and reproducing an extended definition (ED) video signal in/from a track on a magnetic record carrier wherein an ED video signal, such as a PAL-PLUS video signal, includes first lines having a first luminance signal (Y.sub.1) and a chrominance signal (C), and second lines having no chrominance signal but a second luminance signal (Y.sub.2) in the form of a modulated luminance signal with suppressed carrier. The recording device includes a first signal path (11,31,32,16) for processing the first luminance signal, a second signal path (11,18) for processing the chrominance signal and a third signal path (10,30,32,16) for processing the second luminance signal prior to the three signals being combined (22) and recorded on the record carrier. The reproducing device also includes a first (48,50) a second (52,53) and a third signal path (48,73,83) for processing the first luminance signal, the chrominance signal, and the second luminance signal, respectively. Furthermore, a converter is described with which an ED video signal may be converted to a signal that may be recorded by a video recorder and with which a signal read out by a video recorder may be converted to an ED video signal.

    摘要: To be able to transmit television pictures in a digital form through a medium having a limited bandwidth, the pictures are subjected to picture transform and to variable-length coding. The picture to be transmitted is converted in this manner into a bit stream comprising code words of variable length. This bit stream is converted into a channel bit stream which is less sensitive to transmission errors. To this end the most significant code words (representing the average luminance and the coarse picture details) of sub-pictures of 8*8 pixels are accommodated at fixed bit positions of the channel bit stream. These code words can be retrieved by simple count-down of the bit positions. The other code words are distributed over the other bit positions. The decoder is relatively simple because the length of each block comprising significant code words is also transmitted. This length is preferably adapted to the extent of picture detail in the sub-picture.

    摘要: Device for transmitting television pictures in the form of transform coefficients and motion vectors. The motion vectors of a sub-picture are converted (20) into a series of difference vectors and a reference vector. The series is subsequently applied to a variable-length encoder (22) which encodes a run of zero values and a subsequent non-zero value into a code word of variable length. The variable-length encoder may be the same as the encoder which encodes the coefficients.

    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.
