Interference and/or nonlinear distortions are reduced in a signal communicated from a transmitter to a receiver. To reduce interference, the transmitter is momentarily disrupted, during which time the receiver analyzes interference on the communication path to determine the frequency of at least one peak thereof. Information is communicated from the receiver to the transmitter identifying the freq...

Detection is made as to whether or not a first video signal becomes discontinuous and hence a defective frame picture occurs in a stream of frame pictures represented by the first video signal. The defective frame picture is removed from the stream of frame pictures to change the first video signal into a second video signal representing the stream of frame pictures except the defective frame pict...

A time stamping apparatus uses modulo time base and time increment resolution for efficiently encoding a local time base for different video/audio sources embedded in the compressed data. The local time base is mainly encoded in two parts: a modulo time base that indicates the specific interval in the reference time base; and a time base increment relative to the reference time. Two forms of time ...
