A data round-off device receives a digital input signal of m-bit form (m is an integer) which has arithmetically been processed by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by an orthogonal transformer or predictive encoder is summed, if it is positive, with a value of 2.sup.(n-1) -1 (n is a natural number smaller than m) and if negative, with a value of 2.sup.(n-1) and the higher (m-n) bits of a resultant sum signal are delivered as the output of the data round-off device. Preferably, it is used for control of the number of bits if there is a difference in the number of bits between the data output of an orthogonal transformer and the data input of an encoder for encoding the data output of the orthogonal transformer.

In recording and reproducing the digital video signals by bit rate reduction, if they are copied while being subjected to bit rate reduction, no accumulation of distortions in orthogonal transformation or bit rate reduction occurs, and moreover, copying can be done at a low data rate. On the other hand, in case of dividing the data into blocks in each page and transmitting or recording and reproducing the data by block, by concealing the error by the data having the strongest correlation out of the data located in the pages before and after the block in which error has been detected, no degradation in image quality is induced even when the scene changes between pages. Further, at the same time, by detecting the previous concealment information, if there exists a block which was previously concealed in the block in which error has at present been detected, then the data can be fully reproduced by utilizing it, and degradation in image quality can be reduced to a minimum. Also, if degradation in image quality is reduced to a minimum, then the degradation in image quality in the case of repeated copying is reduced to a minimum.

In an apparatus for executing an algorithm for realizing an orthogonal transform operation such as the 8 points fast cosine transform, by operating on successive sets of data values of a digital signal such as a digital video signal in such applications as high efficiency coding of a digital video signal, a plurality of multiplication operations that are executed during processing of each set of data values are executed sequentially by time division multiplex operation of a single multiplier (32) which is capable of executing a multiplication operation within one sample period of the digital signal, with input and output data values being transferred by selector units (11, 33, 41) between the multiplier and other sections of the apparatus at appropriate times during processing of each set of the input digital signal values. The scale of hardware required for the apparatus is thereby reduced by comparison with an apparatus which employs a plurality of separate multipliers.

In a high efficiency coding apparatus for performing plural different types of orthogonal transformation, by reordering the signals after orthogonal transformation and transforming into signals of same statistic characteristics, distortion of coding efficiency due to mismatching of the characteristics of coding device is reduced even if the output of the orthogonally transformed signal is coded by one fixed coding device.

Eight point Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and eight point DCT can be calculated by not more than 8 multiplications by performing a given weighting for each component of orthogonal transformation of DCT and inverse DCT. An orthogonal transformation apparatus can be implemented by one multiplication unit, one addition unit or substraction unit, three butterfly operation units, several resequence units, delay units and selector unit by using one multiplication unit which is capable of one multiplication per one sample on a time-sharing basis.

As an orthogonally transformed signal carries a value adjacent to zero, the output of an orthogonal transformer is coupled in series to a fixed length code encoder for converting the orthogonally transformed signal into a fixed length code signal which exhibits less bit inversion between positive and negative signals near zero. The orthogonal transformer and the fixed length code encoder constitute in combination an orthogonal transformer device.

Afforded is an optical element holder allowing high-accuracy stereo images to be taken. The holder includes: a rectangular parallelepiped beam splitter (5) having a rectangular incident surface (12); a pair of mutually opposing holding members (8) into which end portions of the beam splitter along the x-axis are fitted; and a base portion (9) and screws (10) that press on the holding members (8), drawing them toward each other. Each of the holding members (8) has a flat surface portion covering a lateral surface of the beam splitter (5), and a peripheral wall portion standing along the periphery of the flat surface potion. A width, along the x-axis, whereby the peripheral wall portion and a first light-exit surface opposing the incident surface (12) of the beam splitter (5) overlap is greater than a width, in the same orientation, whereby the incident surface (12) and the peripheral wall portion overlap.
