Abstract
A system which permits a color television signal to be efficiently encoded by a unidimensional or bidimensional transform. The color television signal input to the system is sampled using a variable frequency sampling clock, and the sampled signal is digitally processed. The result is three signals having statistical characteristics similar to the individual component signals of the original color television signal. These resultant signals are encoded to obtain a highly compressed color television signal for transmission.
