Abstract
The invention provides a method for mapping a data stream onto an SDI channel, said data stream comprising a sequence of m-bit words, a range of values from 0 to 2**n−1 and from 2**m−2**n to 2**m−1 being excluded values on said SDI channel. The method comprises the steps of grouping the words to be transmitted, detecting if at least one of the words of the group contains a number of MSB's equal to one, and then recoding these MSBs and adding a constant, in order that no excluded values are obtained. Supplementary bits signal groups that have been recoded.
