Apparatus for receiving compressed digital information
An apparatus for receiving digital information including a receiver which receives the digital information that has digital video information bit-compressed by a first compression system, digital audio information bit-compressed by a second compression system, and error-detection information added to both the digital video information and the digital audio information. There is also provided a demodulator which demodulates the digital information received by the receiver, an error detector which detects an error of digital information demodulated by the demodulator by use of the error-detection information, a first expander which bit-expands video information among the digital information error detected by the error detector corresponding system, and a second expander which bit-expands audio information among the digital information error detected by the error detector corresponding to the second compression system.
1. An apparatus for receiving digital information including at least one of digital video information and digital audio information, comprising:
a receiver which receives the digital information that has digital video information bit-compressed by a first compression system, digital audio information bit-compressed by a second compression system, and error-detection information added to both the digital video information and the digital audio information;
a demodulator which demodulates the digital information received by the receiver;
an error detector which detects an error of digital information demodulated by the demodulator by use of the error-detection information;
a first expander which bit-expands video information among the digital information error detected by the error detector corresponding system; and
a second expander which bit-expands audio information among the digital information error detected by the error detector corresponding to the second compression system.
2. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first compression system and the second compression system are different systems.
3. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the demodulator affects QPSK demodulation.
4. An apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising;
an output terminal which outputs the digital information error-detected by the error detector to a recording/reproducing apparatus;
an input terminal which inputs a reproduced signal from the recording/reproducing apparatus; and
a selector which selects one of the digital information error-detected by the error detector and the digital information inputted from the input terminal;
wherein the digital information selected by the selector is bit-expanded by the first expander and the second expander.
5. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first compression system uses a discrete cosine transform, the received digital information is phase-modulated, and the demodulator demodulates the digital information received by the receiver in accordance with the phase-modulation.
6. An apparatus for processing a transmitted digital signal including at least one of a video signal and an audio signal, comprising:
a receiver which receives the transmitted digital signal, wherein the transmitted digital signal includes a video signal bit-compressed by a first compression method, an audio signal bit-compressed by a second compression method, and an error correction signal added commonly to both the video signal and the audio signal;
a demodulator which demodulates the digital signal received by the receiver;
an error corrector which corrects an error of the digital signal demodulated by the demodulator based on the error correction signal;
a first expander which bit-expands the video signal of the digital signal corrected by the error corrector in accordance with the first compression method; and
a second expander which bit-expands the audio signal of the digital signal corrected by the error corrector in accordance with the second compression method.
7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the first compression method utilizes a discrete cosine transform.
