A frame of compressed video data is formatted for transmission into a plurality of data segments, a first group of which are encoded in the form of a plurality of four-level symbols and a second group of which are encoded in the form of a plurality of two-level symbols for providing improved noise performance. The partition between the first and second groups of data segments may be established on a fixed basis, a variable basis dependent upon the effective level of compression, or a combination of both. Preferably, the levels are selected such that the average levels of the transmitted M and N-level symbols are substantially equal to a non-zero value to assist lock-up of the receiver PLL and reduce transmission power.
