Abstract

A transmitter is disclosed for transmitting a digital information signal having M bit PCM samples via a transmission medium. The M bit PCM signal is split (8) into a P bit PCM signal, whereby P < M and a difference signal. The P bit PCM signal is a lower quality representation of the M bit PCM digital information signal and the difference signal is obtained by subtracting the P bit PCM signal from the M bit PCM signal. The difference signal is data compressed (16) so as to obtain a data compressed difference signal. The P bit PCM signal and the data compressed difference signal are combined (24) so as to obtain a transmission signal. The transmission signal is transmitted via the transmission medium (TRM).

Figure 12 represents another embodiment with the receiver of device form, is used for regeneration and writes on M bit PCM signal on the record carrier.The receiver sheet of Figure 12 illustrates the similarity big with the receiver of Fig. 2.Demultiplex unit 62 comprise first sensing element 12.2 and second sensing element 12.4.The data that first sensing element 12.2 is read the first passage of write recording carrier are so that obtain to write the P bit PCM signal of first passage and first input 68 of described P bit PCM signal to signal synthesis unit 70 is provided.Described first passage is preferably with the channel form of the N bit PCM signal that transmits standard CD, so N=16.Second sensing element 12.4 is read the data of second channel of write recording carrier so that obtain difference signal, if so data compression is used to offer second input 76 of signal combination unit 70.If second channel comprises the data compression difference signal, the expansion before second input 76 that offers signal synthesis unit 70 of described compressed signal.The embodiment of described second channel provides.
Randomly, if so data compression, in the signal that first sensing element can be applied to read from the first passage of record carrier CD, the first that for example uses the data technique imbedded to read difference signal.Second sensing element 12.4 is applied to read the remainder of difference signal from the second channel of this record carrier in this case.If so data compression, second sensing element also is applied to make up first and remainder, so that obtain difference signal.
Though described the present invention with reference to its preferred embodiment, it should be understood that these are not the examples that limits.Therefore under the scope of the present invention that does not break away from by the claim definition, various modifications have become obviously to those skilled in the art.As an example, if so data compression, difference signal can be separated into first and remainder, and first can be stored in the data channel of imbedding, and remainder for example can be stored in merging bit or this user's bit.Utilize the present invention can easily realize anti-duplicating.Therefore, difference signal can with the key scramble.The signal of scramble can be inserted in the data-signal of imbedding and be stored in the first passage of record carrier, and scrambling key is stored in the second channel of record carrier.By doing like this, at this moment can read and duplicate the signal of scramble, but key can not be read thereby reproducible not with the dat recorder device.The record carrier that duplicates transmits scrambling signal, but does not transmit scrambling key.Owing to lose described scrambling key, can not transmit the scrambling signal of difference signal by descrambling according to transcriber of the present invention, so regenerated signal, the digital information signal of the better quality of the M bit PCM of can not regenerating, the P bit PCM signal of reading then.
In addition, difference signal can be scalable signal.This has advantage: this digital information signal can utilize the receiver with different complicacy to be retrieved from transmission signals.The complicacy of the device of retrieval difference signal is determined the quality of reproducing digital information signal.For example, if send the difference signal of data compression, the some parts of described numeral can not use more uncomplicated demoder to produce difference signal.This will finally produce the numerical information of the regeneration with signal quality lower than the signal quality of original M digital bit information signal.
Word ' comprises ' does not get rid of other unit or the step that exists listing in right requires.Any reference marker does not limit the scope of claim.The present invention can utilize the two realization of hardware and software.Several means can be provided by identical item of hardware.The present invention has the combination of each novel characteristic or characteristic in addition.
