ABSTRACT:
An NTSC compatible, single channel widescreen EDTV system encodes and decodes a television signal comprising (1) a main, standard format NTSC signal wth auxiliary low frequency side panel image information compressed into an overscan region thereof; (2) auxiliary high frequency side panel image information; and (3) auxiliary high frequency horizontal luminance information. High frequency components 2 and 3 are subjected to non-linear amplitude companding, with large amplitude compression at an encoder and inverse amplitude expansion at a decoder.
