Abstract
A progressively scanned video signal is encoded into temporal sum and difference components for transmission. The sum signal is temporally filtered, decimated and time expended to be compatible with interlaced receivers. The difference signal, also temporally filtered, decimated and time expanded, is conveyed via single or separate channels with the sum signal to a progressive scan receiver for reconstitution of the original progressive scan signal. Modified quadrature amplitude modulation is used to convey the sum and difference signals in a common channel.
