摘要:
A formatting apparatus authenticates an information signal prior to mass duplication of the signal by analyzing the signal to detect the presence or absence of a security signal therein, inserting a security signal into the information signal, and recording the modified signal only if no security signal was detected.
摘要:
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:
Recording unit is operative so that, in the case of carrying out high speed reproduction, switch is switched by high speed reproduction control signal inputted from the external, and a signal read out from the recording unit is inputted to VLD and formatter. High speed reproduction control signal is inputted to recording unit, switch and counter. Recording unit reproduces and outputs predetermined data in accordance with high speed reproduction control signal. At VLD, variable length encoding of MPEG is released, and syntax analysis is carried out. Counter counts the number of frames to be transmitted. Moreover, counter outputs temporal.sub.-- reference in accordance with reproduction speed indicated by high speed reproduction control signal. Header converter rewrites temporal.sub.-- reference in picture header in accordance with temporal.sub.-- reference outputted from counter. From facts as described above, high speed reproduction of moving picture can be made.
摘要:
A picture encoding method in which the picture signal can be scrambled without deteriorating the picture quality of the encoded picture of the MPEG system. A B-picture f the input picture signal is given random offset in the horizontal direction on the slice basis and encoded by an MPEG encoding device. An offset amount is written as a key on the disc along with the encoded data. A decoding device corrects the offset amount in the slice basis using the key of the reproduced signal. The picture signal can be scrambled in this manner without modifying the MPEG system.
摘要:
A compression-coded high definition television signal is decoded and converted to a standard NTSC signal without loss of interlacing so that the resulting picture exhibits smooth motion. The compression-coding of the HDTV signal includes DCT processing to produce an 8.times.8 block of coefficient data. Upon decoding, the upper left quadrant of the coefficient data array is used to form a 4.times.4 subblock of coefficient data but the last row of elements of the subblock is replaced by corresponding elements of the eighth row of the 8.times.8 block of coefficient data.
摘要:
A picture series is encoded so that a first type of decoder having only one frame memory and incapable of bi-directional decoding can decode the encoded bitstream, and a second type of decoder having multiple frame memories and capable of bi-directional decoding can decode the encoded bitstream to produce a higher quality decoded picture series. The encoded bitstream comprises three parallel channels of encoded picture data. The first channel includes every other picture and header information common to the second and third channels. The second channel includes the pictures not represented in the first channel and encoded by one of forward and backward predictive coding. The third channel includes the pictures not represented in the first channel and encoded by bi-directional predictive coding. The first type of decoder uses the first and second channels, while the second type of decoder uses the first and third channels.
摘要:
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.
