An arrangement for differential pulse code modulation coding comprises a controllable quantizer and a quantizer controller and is dependent on picture signal values. The quantizer controller contains a plurality of series-connected registers which store adjacent picture element signal values. A comparison device provides a differential formation between all picture signal values and a control is provided to which all results of the difference formations are supplied and which controls a multiplexer such that only the respectively highest and lowest picture signal values, the extrema, are through-connected for further processing. A subtractor, wherein the difference between the last picture element signal value and the extrema, as well as between the extrema themselves are identified is also provided. A difference selection control through-connects the maximum difference to a threshold logic which controls the quantizer in accordance with the amount of the maximum difference. |
