A block adaptive quantisation device processes blocks of sample pairs to determine an aggregate or average value at 18. The average or aggregate value is applied to each of a number of exponent look-up tables 22 to 26, which output and exponent value (E) dependent on the extent of compression required. The exponent value is split by an exponent splitter into a remainder value (R) and a shift value (S). The remainder value is used to select one of a number of divide look-up tables to which the unsigned data sample is applied, and the shift value is used to apply a variable bit shift to the data sample (either before or after the division operation). Each divide look-up table 42 to 48 comprises the same group of divide look-up tables. The combination of the four look-up tables in the group, together with the variable bit shift defines a series of code tables made up of a group of divide look-up tables repeated at six dB intervals. The remainder value selects one of the code tables within the group, and the bit shift operation determines the selected one of the repeated groups. The code tables within the group are spaced logarithmically, as are the groups themselves. This arrangement considerably reduces the number of look-up tables required for a given processor, reducing memory requirement and increasing speed.
