    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for operating a transport stream encoder to produce a stream of packets carrying data representing a plurality of component signals which comprises the following steps. The packet stream is partitioned into successive groups, each group containing a predetermined number of packet slots. A plurality of priority lists is maintained, one for each of the packet slots in the group. Each priority list contains a plurality of entries, and each entry identifies one of the component signals. When a packet slot is to be produced, the entries in the priority list corresponding to that packet slot are traversed, one at a time. For each of those entries it is determined whether the component signal identified by that entry can produce a packet. If it can, a packet containing data representing that component signal is produced. Only if none of the component signals identified by the entries in the priority list can produce a packet is a null packet produced.

    摘要: In a DPCM video digital data communication system, each scan line of a video frame is refreshed with PCM data over a refresh cycle comprising a plurality of frames. Refresh generators at the transmitter and at the receiver are synchronized with an initialization signal and with subsequent refresh cycle synchronizing signals. Also the scan lines and frames are synchronized with corresponding transmitted marker synchronizing signals. The refresh generators run asynchronously between marker synchronizing signals to select scan lines for refresh. The refresh generators each employ counters for counting a selected number M which is an integer having no factors in common with the number of scan lines of a frame to select scan lines for refresh which have different spatial positions in adjacent successive frames to avoid generating visible refresh artifacts.

    摘要: In a differential pulse code modulator for image-representative signals, a coder codes difference signals to produce coded signals which have a highly variable rate, which depends upon motion in the image being represented. A rate buffer receives the coded signals and generates a control signal representative, at least in part, of the rate of fill of the rate buffer. Various filters, decimators and/or coarse quantizers associated with the modulator have characteristics controlled by the control signal in order to tend to control the rate of fill of the rate buffer. This aids in preventing loss of information at the receiver.

    摘要: A method for seamlessly splicing a local commercial segment into an existing network time slot, without decoder buffer overflow or underflow. The vbv_delay of the commercial segment is manipulated (e.g., for a minimum delay or a maximum delay). The pictures from the commercial segment are output for at least a portion of the associated network time slot duration. A determination is made regarding the number of pictures remaining in a stored portion of the incoming network feed or the commercial segment and the output rate is adjusted as required. The vbv_delay of the stored network feed or the vbv_delay of the local commercial segment is adjusted to match the vbv_delay of the incoming network feed.

    摘要: At a sending station in a digital television transmission system embodying the invention, time-division multiplexing either of the spatial-frequency analyses of the video signals from a television camera or of their interframe DPCM responses, both of which have uniform coding rates, is completed prior to symbol coding of interframe DPCM samples. This obviates the problems of time-division multiplexing symbol codes of variable length and of irregular coding rate. Time-division multiplexing is done so as to facilitate symbol coding protocols which include run-length encoding of DPCM samples. At a receiving station in the digital television transmission system time-division demultiplexing takes place after symbol decoding, being done on a per scan line basis.

    摘要: A plurality of raster-scanned image variables are time-compressed and time-division multiplexed on a line-sequential basis for pyramid analysis. The resulting differential pulse code modulation is statistically encoded and assembled together with digital audio code and synchronizing code. The assembler supplies a serial stream of bits to a transmitter. Receiving apparatus for a video teleconferencing station includes a receiver complementary to the transmitter and a parser for separating digital codewords. Those codewords that are statistical codes descriptive of differential pulse code modulation of video are demodulated. The demodulation results are formatted for a pyramid synthesizer. The stream of samples provided as output signal from the pyramid synthesizer is time-division demultiplexed and time expanded to recover the plurality of raster-scanned image variables.

    摘要: Difference signals are coarsely quantized in a plurality of modes in a DPCM TV system. The fill and rate of fill of the transmitting rate buffer is monitored to prevent errors due to underflow and overflow of the transmitting rate buffer. The data rate is adaptively reduced in response to the rate of fill and fill by an adaptive coarse quantizer which is switched to a more coarse quantizing mode to reduce the transmit data rate. The coarse quantizing values are selected from among the members of the ensemble of values used for the least coarse quantizing mode. This avoids quantizer mode information having to be transmitted to the receiver and giving rise to additional transmitting overhead.
