The growth of high-density television (HDTV) systems, along with the development of peripheral devices, depends on the development of transmission systems. The authors have constructed an HDTV digital transmission system for the purpose of supporting secondary distribution of HDTV signals and developed an HDTV codec intended for application in this system. The HDTV digital transmission system is a transmission system that utilizes a single (36 MHz) channel of a Kuband transponder of a communication satellite, employs a rate 3/4 convolutional code and a (255,239) Reed-Solomon block code for forward error correction, and uses quadriphase-shift keying (QPSK) as the modulation format. The HDTV codec developed for application in this system is a coding method that is based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) and motion compensated prediction, which provides 40 Mb/s coded video signal. In this paper, the structure of the HDTV digital satellite transmission system and the HDTV codec are described. The video coding method of the HDTV codec is also described. © 1997 Scripta Technica, Inc. Electron Comm Jpn Pt 1, 80 (1): 35–51, 1997
