Abstract
An enhancement decoder for video signals, comprising an interface to receive a first video stream () using a first signal element coding format from a standard decoder, an interface to receive an enhancement data stream and a de-multiplexer () to decompose the enhancement data stream into a first set of enhancement data, a second set of enhancement data and a range data. A first decoder video stream derived from the first video stream at a first resolution is enhanced by a first enhancer using the first set of enhancement data. A second decoder video stream derived from an output of the first enhancer is converted by an up-sampler to a second resolution. The second resolution being higher than the first resolution. A third decoder video stream derived from an output of the up-sampler at the second resolution is enhanced by a second enhancer using the second set of enhancement data. A coding format adjustment module converts one of the first to third decoder video streams from a first signal element coding format to a second signal element coding format using the range data.
