Abstract

See full text

A system and method for buffering a plurality of divisions of a signal prior to transmission of the signal is disclosed. The buffering is configured to prevent error propagation during decoding of the transmitted signal. A set of encoding levels at a transmission rate is selected from a threshold table having a plurality of encoding levels. Each set of encoding levels includes a plurality of ranges configured to select encoding bits. Each division of the signal is encoded using the set of encoding levels. In one embodiment, this is used in the transmission of video signals over a potentially lossy communications channel.
