Abstract

A digital television transmitter has a buffer that receives a low resolution low pass filtered signal. A high resolution high pass filtered signal is applied to the buffer only when the buffer can accept it without overflowing in accordance with a threshold signal. A controller provides a control signal that varies in accordance with an interframe difference motion indicator signal and the inverse of the occupancy of the buffer. A digital television receiver receives a digital television picture signal and preferably a transmitter buffer occupancy state signal. A low resolution low pass filtered signal is applied to an adder. A high resolution high pass filtered signal is applied to the adder in accordance with the buffer state and motion indication. The transmitter and receiver are useful in video teleconferencing.
