Abstract
A method and apparatus for manipulating and de-manipulating Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) data having any one of a plurality of formats, comprising an encoder, a transmission medium and a decoder. The encoder receives the VBI data having an original data format and manipulates the format of the VBI data into a general VBI format. This signal is transferred to the decoder where the decoder de-manipulate the general VBI format of the VBI data into the original VBI format.
