System for transmitting a digital video signal including time code signals

Abstract From the Canadian patent

In the transmission of digital video data signals for, example, in a digital video tape recorder a luminance signal and, first and second chrominance signals such as R-Y and B-Y, are, individually sampled to provide respective digital luminance data signals and first and second digital chrominance data signals for forming a high-definition video picture. Time code data signals representing the corresponding frame including the sampled signals are provided as individual sets of identical signals. The digital luminance data signals and the first and second digital chrominance data signals are divided into respective sets thereof which each consist of two successive data signals. The sets of …
