Abstract
A digital television transmitter has a buffer that receives a low resolution low pass filtered signal. A high resolution high pass filtered signal is applied to the buffer only when the buffer can accept it without overflowing. A digital television receiver receives a digital television picture signal and preferably a transmitter buffer occupancy state signal. A low resolution low pass filtered signal is applied to an adder. A high resolution high pass filtered signal is applied to the adder when the buffer state is low and also when it is intermediate and no substantial motion is present. The transmitter and receiver are useful in video teleconferencing.
