A digital video communication device is provided. The digital video communication device includes a transmitter providing a spread-spectrum video signal including a predetermined frequency spread value and a frequency ratio and a receiver receiving the spread-spectrum video signal. The receiver includes a frequency synthesizer, a free-running clock generator configured to generate a free-running clock signal, wherein the free-running clock signal is used as a reference clock signal input to the frequency synthesizer. The receiver further includes a digital control logic circuit configured to separate the frequency ratio from the spread-spectrum video signal, and a line buffer coupled to the digital control logic circuit and the frequency synthesizer, the line buffer adjusting the frequency ratio and sending the adjusted frequency ratio to the frequency synthesizer, wherein the frequency synthesizer combines the free-running clock signal and the adjusted frequency ratio, and outputs a de-spread clock signal.
