H04N 7/30 (2006.01) Television systems - involving transform coding

H03M 7/40 (2006.01) Conversion of a code where information is represented by a given sequence or number of digits to a code where the same information is represented by a different sequence or number of digits - Conversion to or from variable length codes, e.g. Shannon-Fano code, Huffman code, Morse code

H03M 7/42 (2006.01) Conversion of a code where information is represented by a given sequence or number of digits to a code where the same information is represented by a different sequence or number of digits - using table look-up for the coding or decoding process, e.g. using read-only memory

H03M 7/46 (2006.01) Conversion of a code where information is represented by a given sequence or number of digits to a code where the same information is represented by a different sequence or number of digits - Conversion to or from run-length codes, i.e. by representing the number of consecutive digits, or groups of digits, of the same kind by a code word and a digit indicative of that kind

H04N 7/26 (2006.01) Television systems - using bandwidth reduction
