Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To equalize time required for the read of data. SOLUTION: In a frame memory, pixel data DATA0-DATA23 among the pixel data DATA0-DATA39 of all the lines of image data are recorded in the Col0-Col23 of a prescribed row and the pixel data DATA24-DATA39 are recorded in the Col8-Col23 of the next row. Further, the pixel data DATA 16-DATA23 are recorded in the Col0-Col7 of the next row. For instance, in the case of reading the pixel data DATA20-DATA27 for eight pixels, the Col4-Col11 of the row 3 storing all of the pixel data DATA20-DATA27 are decided as read addresses so as not to perform read over the two rows.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a compression coding method and a compression coder for a video signal and a multiplexing method and a multiplexer for compression coded data by which an underflow of a decoder due to the occurrence of a big picture is avoided. SOLUTION: In a system where output time management information and/or decoding time management information are multiplexed on a stream and a resulting stream is sent to obtain synchronization between a plurality of compression coded signals, a video signal coding processing section 1 applies compression coding to a video signal to generate compression coded data. Furthermore, as access unit information(AUI) to multiplex the compression-coded data of the video signal, a picture size, a picture type, a repeat first field and a flag denoting the occurrence of a big picture are generated, and a system coder and multiplexer 3 applies multiplexing processing to the data based on the AUI.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To avoid deterioration of a picture effectively and to improve noise reduction effect by setting a feedback characteristic and a threshold level of a multiplied value to an optimum value based on noise quantity. CONSTITUTION:A digital video signal SDV stored in a frame memory circuit 4 is subject to movement correction and the result is subtracted from a digital video signal SDV of a succeeding frame at a subtractor circuit 8, a difference data DS is generated thereby, a difference data correction circuit 10 corrects a signal level and the result is subtracted from a digital video signal SDV of a succeeding frame at a subtractor circuit 2 thereby suppressing noise component included in the digital video signal SDV. In the threshold level setting mode, a level of a difference correction circuit 10 is set to a value close sequentially to a 0 level from a preset value and when noise is rapidly increased to be a level depending on a noise setting value DELTAX1 or over, the noise is set to just preceding values ta, -ta.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent dubbing by decoding an identification code on a 2nd transmission line based on a timing signal from a 1st transmission line and recording a data on a 1st tape to a 2nd tape based on a dubbing permission signal upon coincidence with a prescribed data. CONSTITUTION:The identification code C based on a discriminating data (d) on the 1st tape is synchronized with a prescribed timing signal (t) on the 1st transmission lines 10 and 11 (audio signal line and video signal line) and supplied to the 2nd transmission lines 10, 11 and 22 (dedicated transmission line), and the identification code C on the 2nd transmission lines 10, 11 and 22 is decoded and discriminated based on the timing signal (t) from the 1st transmission lines 10 and 11. Consequently, when the discriminating data (d) to be transmitted from the 1st tape 1 is rewritten by interrupting the transmission lines 10, 11 and 22 with a transmission data rewriting device, a time lag is generated be tween the 1st transmission lines 10 and 11 or 22 and the 2nd transmission lines 10 and 11, and the identification code is not correctly decoded in a recording system 3. By this method, dubbing is infeasible.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a picture of high quality by reducing encoded information of a motion vector. SOLUTION: A motion vector detection means 11 detects the motion vector of an input video signal for one frame by using the video signal of a previous frame. A distribution detection means 12 detects the distribution range of the motion vector obtained by the motion vector detection means 11. A control means 111 predicts the search range of the motion vector of the video signal in the motion vector detection means 11 based on the distribution range information of the motion vector, which is obtained by the distribution detection means 12, and sets the search range of the motion vector for the motion vector detection means 11. The motion vector detection means 11 detects the motion vector of the input video signal within the search range which is set by the control means 111.
