Abstract

Digital high-definition TV (HDTV) signals are generally compressed to reduce transmission bandwidth requirements. A compression algorithm for the bit rate reduction of an HDTV image using the wavelet transform is presented. The major problems related to the transmission of a compressed HDTV signal are analyzed. Transmission is examined both on a noisy channel and an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. The effects of channel noise on the reconstructed image are determined, and a solution to mitigate the degradation of the image quality is presented. A model for the output bit rate of the HDTV coder is derived and used to simulate the transmission of an ATM multiplexer so that the network´s main performance parameters can be determined
