ABSTRACT:
Digitally-compressed audio and image data of a plurality of programs (logical channels) are distributed and superimposed for every horizontal synchronizing signal period together with identification information of each of the programs in place of a luminance signal of an analog video signal of each of physical channels. Each of the physical channels is superimposed in its frequency and distributed from a signal transmission facility of a broadcasting station. At the receiving side, a desired physical analog channel is tuned and the compressed digital audio and image data superimposed on the tuned video signal are selected and taken as desired logical channel data in reference to program identification information, and the compressed digital audio and image data are decoded to obtain their original audio and moving images. With such an arrangement as above, in an existing CATV system, a mere insertion of an encoder unit into a transmission side and a decoder unit into a receiving side, without improving a characteristic of an analog video signal distribution system such as a cable or the like, respectively, enables a greater number of programs to be supplied correspondingly by the amount of digital compression.
