A Modular Digital Video Coding Architecture for Present and Advanced TV Systems
The evolution from composite television systems to component and advanced systems presents a major challenge for the transmission and distribution of different signal formats with varying quality and performance requirements. In this article, a modular video coding architecture for digital transmission of current NTSC and component signals (CCIR Rec. 601) is presented. The evolution of this architecture to handle advanced TV systems such as HDTV is discussed. Examples of how this modular architecture can handle transmission and distribution of NTSC or component signals at the DS3 (45 Mbit/sec) and higher bit rates are given.
