ABSTRACT In order to obtain a reduction of the bit rate when digitizing a colour video signal using a picture transform, a colour video signal is sampled with a fre- quency which is twice the colour auxiliary carrier frequency. The video signal samples thus obtained are assembled into two-dimensional subpictures each comprising P consecutive video signal samples of each time Q consecu- tive line signals. Each subpicture can be considered as the sum of a series of superposed basic pictures, each having its own coefficient (which is weighting factor representing the contribution of the basic picture in the subpicture). Each coefficient is encoded with a number of bits assigned thereto. The basic pictures are assembled from picture squares which are either of a first type (completely white) or a second type (completely black). The Hadamard matrix transform determines the basic picture patterns. Each of the two colour information signals u(t) and v(t) in the colour video signal now contributes to a subpicture in such a way that this contribution can be fully described by one basic picture. Only the coeffi- cients associated with these basic pictures need be encoded accurately.
