Abstract

Predictors operating on video signals sampled at six times the color subcarrier <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">(6f_{c})</tex> have been investigated and compared with predictors operating at three times the color subcarrier <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">(3f_{c})</tex> . When the best <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">6f_{c}</tex> predictor is used with an adaptive delta modulator (ADM) step size generator, the resulting pictures are similar in quality to <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3f_{c}</tex> predictors operating with a four-level adaptive DPCM quantizer. An ADM coder was implemented in real time. The coder used between 24 and 34 IC's, depending upon the algorithm, and fits on a single 9 in × 6 in PC board. The transmission rate is 21.4 Mbits/s.
