Abstract

Apparatus is provided for performing two stages of high-speed compression of vector data inputs. Two input channels of vector data are compressed and encoded through a vector quantizer encoder to provide a first stage of data compression. The output of the first encoder is further decoded then compressed and encoded in a novel high-speed computing mapping means which may be implemented in the form of a look-up table. Vector quantized encoded output is double the previous data compression of a single stage. The second stage of data compression causes very little degradation of the data from the first stage of data compression.
