ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for controlling the display of progressively refreshed decoded compressed image representative data is disclosed. Subframes of intracoded video signals, and subframes of intercoded video signals based on the intracoded video signals of successive video frames are used to construct a reference video frame. Refresh descriptor data is provided indicating the number of video frames necessary for acquiring intracoded video signals to form the reference video frame. The display of video frames is inhibited based on the refresh descriptor data until a suitable video frame of intracoded video signals and intercoded video signals based thereon is constructed. In another embodiment of the invention, at least one array of memory elements is provided for storing data corresponding to the subframes of a video frame. Each subframe of a video frame corresponds to one element of the memory array. Data indications are stored to mark as "clean" or initialized the regions of subframes having intracoded video signals and subframes having intercoded video signals based on the intracoded video signals. Substitute video signals are provided to conceal portions of respective video frames not marked as initialized, thereby provide a more pleasing picture to the viewer.
