ABSTRACT:
A coding and decoding apparatus is used to code and decode video signals. Input video signals are enhanced by an emphasis circuit having a nonlinear characteristic increasing an enhancement degree as amplitude of the input video signal decreases. The enhanced video signal, outputted from the emphasis circuit, is compression coded in an encoder and a code stream, representing a compression coded video signal, is outputted from the encoder. The code stream is transmitted to a decoder and the decoder decodes the code stream, outputting a decoded video signal. The decoded video signal is fed to a de-emphasis circuit having a nonlinear characteristic increasing a suppression degree as amplitude of the input signal decreases. As a result, low noise high quality video signals is reproduced from the de-emphasis circuit.
