Abstract

In order to achieve a greater degree of security in the decoder for the control frame of teletext pages, the control frame is initially selected and decoded from the data stream by means of a bit by bit comparison with a frame word. Thereby, the following steps are carried out in dependence on the number of coincidences occurring during the bit by bit comparison with the frame word: PA1 a) if, during the bit by bit comparison, eight coincidences are detected, the control frame is considered to have been identified and the counter is reset; PA1 b) if less than eight coincidences are detected, it is determined whether a particular number ("444") or a multiple of this number ("n 444") has been reached on the basis of the count-state of the clock pulse counter, whereby, in the event that this number has been reached, the control frame is considered to have been identified and the counter is reset.
