    Abstract: A multichannel image compression system uses a plurality of encoders (10, 12 ... 14) to compress image data. A coding level command is provided to each of the encoders to specify a level of quality to be provided by each encoder. Encoded image data, provided by the encoders in response to the coding level command, is multiplexed (26) into a combined signal for transmission. The coding level command is adjusted in response to an accumulated amount of data from the combined signal, to maintain the accumulated data within a throughput capability of a communication channel (48). Although the coding level command may specify a global coding level that is the same for all of the encoders, the encoders can derive local coding levels from the global coding level to provide different encoding qualities. Decoder apparatus (30-46) is provided to recover an image from the compressed image data.

    Abstract: A multiple serial access memory is provided. A dynamic random access memory (30) is addressed to input data thereto and output data therefrom. Rows of data are output from the array (50) in response to address signals (34, 36, 38) provided thereto. A plurality of serial output ports (44, 46, 48) is coupled to the output of the array for selectively latching different rows of data output from the array. The serial output ports (44, 46, 48) are clocked to output the latched data therefrom. In an illustrated embodiment, each of the serial output ports contains a shift register (62, 64, 66, ... 68) having a length equal to the width of the memory array (30). The shift register is responsive to a first timing signal (42, 52) for latching a row of data from the array (30). A second timing signal actuates the shift register to shift a row of latched data. A serial access selector (70) coupled to the shift register outputs a selected portion of the shifted data from the serial output port. The memory has particular application as the frame store for a motion compensated interframe image coding/decoding system.

    Abstract: An image area is refreshed during the transmission of a set of motion compensated sequential video images. The video images are divided into a plurality of adjacent regions. The image area is refreshed during a refresh cycle by communicating a different region in each successive video image of the set without motion compensation. Motion compensation of the previously refreshed regions of the image area during the refresh cycle is restricted to an area containing only the previously refreshed regions. Video image data from a current region being refreshed is encoded for use by a decoder in identifying it as non-motion compensated data.

    Abstract: Apparatus (10) is provided for decoding variable length code words to recover transform coefficients, such as DCT transform coefficients provided by a high definition television encoder. A first category of the code words has a length of no more than n bits. A second category has a length of greater than n bits. A feedback ROM (22) is used to decode the code words. Code words from the first category are processed by directly addressing a lookup table (80) in the ROM (22). Code words from the second category are processed using multiple passes through the ROM (22), wherein a portion of the data output during a prior pass is fed back (90) to address the memory during a subsequent pass.

    Abstract: A succession of variable length data packets containing a header portion and data portion are received. Selected data from the data packet headers is stored in designated locations of a header memory. A data packet start address is provided with each stored header portion to designate a location in a data memory for commencing the storage of data contained in a corresponding data packet. The data from the received data packets is stored commencing in the data memory locations designated by the corresponding data packet start addresses. In an illustrated embodiment, the data packets are macroblocks from digitized television frames. A plurality of next data packet position indicators are provided in the data, for use in periodically verifying macroblock boundaries during the receipt of the television data and to provide a rapid recovery from a transmission error affecting the actual or identified length of a macroblock.
