    Abstract: A device is disclosed for encoding a stream of databits of a binary source signal (S) into a stream of databits of a binary channel signal (C), wherein the bitstream of the source signal is divided into n-bit source words (x1, x2), which device comprises converting means (CM) adapted to convert said source words into corresponding m-bit channel words (y1, y2, y3). The converting means (CM) are further adapted to convert n-bit source words into corresponding m-bit channel words, such that the conversion for each n-bit source word is parity preserving (table I) (Fig. 1). The relations hold that mn1, p1, and that p can vary. Preferably, m = n + 1. The device is adapted to convert the 8-bit bitsequence '00010001' in the source signal into the 12-bit bitsequence '100010010010' and to convert the 8-bit bitsequence '10010001' into the 12-bit bitsequence '000010010010', in order to limit the repeated minimum transition runlength in the channel signal. Also other 8-bit sequences require a specific encoding into 12-bit bitsequences in order to limit the kconstraint of the channel signal to 7. Further, a decoding device is disclosed for decoding the channel signal obtained by means of the encoding device.

    Abstract: A method of modulating digital data to a variable-length code (d, k; m, n; r) for recording information on and reproducing the same from an optical disc (21). The optimal range of a minimum run length d corresponding to the minimum number of successive same symbols is determined by a procedure which comprises a first step (52, 53) to determine the minimum S/N required for obtaining a desired error rate from the relationship between a bit error rate and the S/N when d = 0; a second step (54) to obtain the relationship between a change of the numerical value d and that of the S/N by calculating, on the basis of the required minimum S/N obtained at the first step (52, 53), the S/N loss caused due to the change of the numerical value d; and a third step (55) to determine, from the relationship between the numerical value d and the S/N, the range of the value d corresponding to the S/N of the transmission characteristic dependent on an optical system and an optical disc (21).

    Abstract: A DSV bit is inserted in an input data string by a DSV bit determining insertion unit (11). A modulation unit (12) has a conversion table, and the element of the conversion table comprises the element for determining uniquely, and has a conversion rule that residues obtained by dividing the number of "1" in the element of a data string and the number of "1" in the element of a code word string to be converted by 2 are identically 1 or 0 for both residues. A channel bit string is modulated according to the conversion table, and further NRZI modulated by an NRZI modulation unit (13). Thus, DSV control can be performed with reduced redundancy.

    Abstract: A modulating method and apparatus and a demodulating method and apparatus in which a variable length code (d, k;m, n;r) which can provide a greater minimum reversal distance to allow recording of a higher density than ever is provided. According to the modulating method and apparatus, digital data of a basic data length of m bits is modulated into a variable length code (d, k;m, n;r) of a basic code length of n bits, and where the distance between adjacent ones of the digital data is represented by T, the minimum reversal distance (Tmin) of the variable length code is equal to or greater than 2.0T and the minimum length of a run of a same symbol is equal to or greater than 4. The demodulating apparatus demodulates the digital data back into the variable length code and comprises storage means (23) for storing therein a plurality of tables for converting the digital data into the variable length code, discriminating means (21) for discriminating the binding length of the digital data, and selecting means (22) for selecting one of the tables in accordance with a result of discrimination of the discriminating means(21).
