Abstract

See full text

Video signals are sampled at 4Fsc locked onto sub-carrier phase and frequency. The active picture lines of each field are divided into 6 blocks of 47 lines and the active line periods of those lines scrambled on a block by block basis by line order shuffling. The shuffling algorithm is generated by a line shuffling permutator driven by a PRBS generator (controls 36, 38). Active line period samples for one block are written in unscrambled form into a first memory block (32) and samples from the previous block are read out in scrambled form from a second memory block (34) for transmission. The complementary process takes place in the decoder.
