ABSTRACT:
A statistical multiplexing apparatus for permanently recording a plurality of video signals on a video generator so that video programs represented by the video signals can be repeatedly broadcast is provided with a video analyzer for analyzing a first video signal and a second video signal and generating a first compression signal and a second compression signal, a first video encoder for encoding the first video signal at a variable rate determined by the first compression signal to form a first encoded video signal, a second video encoder for encoding the second video signal at a variable rate determined by the second compression signal to form a second encoded video signal, and a video generator for permanently recording the first and second encoded video signals so that the first and second encoded video signals can be repeatedly broadcast from the video generator.
