Abstract: A 3-dimensional image is obtained from a 2-dimensional display by varying the apparent distance of the image from the viewer on a pixel by pixel basis. The apparent visual distance of the associated pixel from the viewer is achieved in a television system by controlling the electron beam to move a minute distance vertically as it scans horizontally. The vertical distance is determined by a depth component incorporated in the broadcast signal received by a television set. Specifically there is provided a method of encoding a television broadcast signal comprising the steps of generating a depth signal for each pixel and adding the depth signal as a component of the broadcast signal.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FI97/00062 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 7, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 7, 1997 PCT Filed Feb. 4, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/29566 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 14, 1997A compression method and apparatus for a transmission link in a telecommunications network between switching centers each associated with a compression apparatus connected thereto by a number of PCM transmission channels for receiving a speech signal from each PCM transmission channel and transferring the speech signal via an interconnecting PCM link having a transmission capacity lower than the number of transmission channels received from the switching center to the other compression apparatus. The speech signal between the first switching center and the compression apparatus is either a pure PCM coded speech signal or a PCM coded speech signal in which one or more least significant bits of the PCM samples provide a sub-channel for lower-rate vocoded speech containing the same speech information as the PCM samples but in a vo-coded format. The interconnecting link has one or more PCM channels in each of which all bits of the PCM samples are utilized for providing two or more subchannels in each of which lower-rate vocoded speech or data can be transmitted. One compression apparatus is arranged, in response a PCM coded speech signal containing the subchannel, to multiplex the content of the subchannel into one of the subchannels in the interconnecting link, and, in response to a pure PCM coded speech signal, to encode the latter into a lower-rate vocoded speech signal and to multiplex the vocoded speech signal into one of the subchannels in the interconnecting link.
