<p>An encoder/decoder can insert and demodulate an information signal without affecting a video signal, the information signal being not analyzed, modified and deleted easily. The non-inverted and inverted information signals are inserted into two horizontal lines having a strong correlation in the same field or different fields separated by at least one field of the video signal. A difference of the inserted information signals is obtained by a combination of a delay circuit and a subtracter. Field difference signals Sx and Sy are applied to a band pass filter and are generated by a PSK generation circuit. Generated output signals Qx and Qy are converted into unit information by a majority decision logic circuit and are stored in a memory. A unit information group consisting of a predetermined number of stored bits is used to generate the meaningful information. The inserted information signal has a low level and is inserted in the video period and the unit information is generated by the field difference. Thus, the information signal cannot be analyzed, modified and deleted easily. <IMAGE></p> |
