Abstract

Methods and devices for incorporating additional information, such as HDTV side strips, into the blanking intervals of a previous frame. These may be used in conjunction with Inventor's time-varying STS techniques or otherwise. The information thus incorporated may be used, in addition to HDTV side strips, for the incorporation of data that may represent: additional definition; information that may be used to convert a monoscopic image into a left and right pair, or the second of a pair; various area maps which may be used to apply a multiplicity of algorithms to separate areas of an image; motion analysis information; interactive or gaming information; multimedia or hypermedia information; or, otherwise. Off-line computation and recording may be used to advantage at the encoding end of the process, as well as pipelined architecture at the reception end.
