In a system for compressing stereoscopic video signals, left and right stereoscopic video image signals are provided by a pair of, for example, synchronized cameras (10,11). The left video image signal is applied to compression apparatus (12-19) which compresses the left video signal according to a flatfield signal compression protocol such as the MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group of the International Standards Organization) moving pictures compression protocol. The right video image signal is also applied to compression apparatus (23-28) which compresses the right video images according to a predictive process wherein the predictions are made, at least in part, with respect to images of the left video image signal. The compressed left and right image signals are conditioned (20,29) for transmission. The compressed left image signals may be received by standard receivers for reproduction of the left (flatfield) images, and the compressed left and right signals may be received by enhanced receivers for reproduction of stereoscopic images. <IMAGE> |
