APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A TRANSMIT FRAME

摘要

An apparatus for generating a transmit frame from an information signal, the information signal comprising a first information frame and a second information frame, comprises a provider for providing a first reconstruction distortion value indicating a reconstruction distortion when replacing the first information frame by a replacement frame, and for providing a second reconstruction distortion value indicating a reconstruction distortion when replacing the second information frame by a replacement frame, means for introducing either the first information frame or the second information frame into the transmit frame in dependence on the first reconstruction distortion value or in dependence on the second reconstruction value. In accordance with the present invention, a rate-distortion optimized rate reduction can be achieved.
