A block of picture elements is DCT transformed and coded to produce a corresponding data block of variable length codewords having an average length. The data blocks are apportioned among fixed length transport blocks as needed to produce full transport blocks. The transport blocks include a direct (DC) component and alternating components at prescribed locations, as well as an address information flag indicating whether or not block data is longer or shorter than the average length, and an address pointer, to facilitate recovery and synchronization of apportioned data blocks at a decoder.

System for processing a digital signal including auxiliary data to

A television camera includes an acceleration correction device for correcting for sudden movements of the camera, to prevent blurring of the resulting television picture. The correction device changes the starting point on an image target depending upon the amount and direction of the acceleration. This correction does not occur until the acceleration exceeds a threshold value.
