Combined transform coefficient inverse weighting and weighting within a video transcoding scheme performing resolution conversion

摘要

An inputted digital signal of a first format (DV video signal) is restored to a variable-length code by having its framing cancelled by a de-framing section 11, then decoded by a variable-length decoding (VLD) section 12, inversely quantized by an inverse quantizing (IQ) section 13, and inversely weighted by an inverse weighting (IW) section 14. Then, required resolution conversion in the orthogonal transform domain (frequency domain) is carried out on the inversely weighted video signal by a resolution converting section 16. After that, the video signal having the resolution converted is weighted by a weighting (W) section 18, then quantized by a quantizing (Q) section 19, coded by variable-length coding by a variable-length coding (VLC) section 20, and outputted as a digital signal of a second format (MPEG video signal).
