Abstract

An adaptive rounder for avoiding truncation errors for digital video signal has a dither source that is modified by the bits of an integer portion of an input digital signal corresponding to the video signal. A dither signal from the dither source has a number of bits equal to a fractional portion of the input digital signal. The dither signal is added to the input digital signal and the result is truncated to produce an output digital signal having a number of bits equal to the integer portion.
