ABSTRACT:
A signal processing apparatus reduces the quantization noise by using so-called noise shaping circuits. The input signal may be audio or video signals. One of the noise shaping circuits is supplied with a signal which is the relative addition of the input signal and a dither while the other noise shaping circuit is supplied with a signal which is the relative subtraction of the input signal and the dither. The signal components of the outputs of the noise shaping circuits are effectively combined to cancel the dither components to produce an output with an improved S/N ratio. A plurality of such signal processing apparatus may be arranged in parallel, in which case different dithers are used in the respective signal processing apparatus and the outputs of the respective signal processing apparatus are combined to further improve the S/N ratio.
