Abstract
When analog signals of two or more channels are converted to digital signals, a differential signal of at least two of these channels (A and B) is taken out. The signal of either channel A or B or the sum signal of these signals and the above-mentioned differential signal are quantized by binary-coding with n and m bits (n>m), respectively. The quantization is also performed by sampling with the sampling frequency f1 and f2 (f1>f2). As a result the memory capacity is saved and the transmission speed is improved.
