Abstract

In a transmission system in which two-level picture signal is divided into blocks, each having a predetermined number of picture elements, the pieces of signal contained in the respective blocks are converted to a predetermined number of codes, and the codes are converted to modulated signals having different levels or phase, the modulator circuit is so designed that any two modulated signals causing the shifting of the contour of picture may be converted to two signals having adjacent levels or phases, so as to minimize the degradation of the quality of the reproduced picture due to code errors caused during transmission.
