Abstract

A system controls reproduction of a video transmission between a transmitter and a receiver. The system includes an encryptor with an offset generator adapted to receive the encrypted frame key and to generate a sequence of pseudo-random values for the color component; and an adder coupled to the offset generator and to the color component signal for providing an encoded color component signal. The system also includes a decryptor with a decryptor offset generator adapted to receive the encrypted frame key and to generate a decryptor pseudo-random value for the color component; and a subtractor coupled to the offset generator and to the color component signal for subtracting the offset signal from the color component signal.
