Abstract
In a television transmission system a digital luminance signal Dy and two digital color difference signals DCHR(1) and DCHR(2) are applied to a distribution circuit 3 at the transmitter end, which digital color difference signals are applied thereto possibly after having been subjected to a vertical decimation operation with a decimation factor R. The distribution circuit 3 partitions all these signals into groups of Q sample per group. After receiving an even number of luminance groups and an even number of chrominance groups, a first half of this number of luminance groups and a first half of this number of chrominance groups is applied to a first auxiliary picture signal output 3(4) of the distribution circuit 3, while simultaneously the other half of the number of luminance groups and the other half of the number of chrominance groups is applied to a second auxiliary picture signal output (3(5) of the distribution circuit. A transformer for performing a forward two-dimensional Q*Q transform is connected to each of these auxiliary picture signal outputs.
