Abstract

A high definition color television picture signal is unified by time-axis compressed integration (TCI) and the bandwidth thereof is extremely narrowed by dot-interlace subsampling. As a result, a narrow band transmission picture signal accompanied with a control signal adapted to the restoration of the received original picture signal, which is suitable for satellite broadcast, can be obtained through a comparatively simple arrangement. The received narrow band transmission picture signal can be restored by the interpolation adapted respectively to the stationary picture and the motion picture under control of the control signal or the picture-motional information detected from the received picture signal in combination with the control signal, so that the original high definition can be sufficiently maintained through comparatively simple receiving equipment.
