One or more of the video components of prior art are quantized coarsely before being sent to a receiver. To prevent perceptible loss of picture information and to minimize visible artifacts, suitable ordered dither is added before a component is quantized. The transmitted signal is preferably also sampled at the transmitter and resampled and requantized in the receiver for combatting noise and distortion. Some forms of the invention are compatible with prior art receivers. Other forms provide compressed digital signalling and coarsely quantized pulse-amplitude modulation.
