1. Video apparatus comprising:
- a digital encoder receiving a first analogue signal with ancillary information in a given time window and generating on an output a digital stream based at least partly on the first analogue signal;
a digital decoder at least connectable to the output and generating a second analogue signal from the digital stream at least when being connected to said output;
control means for determining the occurrence of said time window and correspondingly generating a control signal;
selecting means for selectively outputting, based on said control signal, the first analogue signal, when said time window occurs, and otherwise, the second analogue signal, wherein the digital decoder includes means for synchronising the second analogue signal to the first analogue signal.

Abstract
A video apparatus has a digital encoder which receives a first analogue video signal with ancillary information in a given time window and generates on an output a digital stream based on the first analogue video signal. A digital decoder is connectable to this output to generate a second analogue video signal. A switch selects between the first analogue video signal and the second analogue video signal as an output depending on a control signal based on the occurrence of said time window.

9. Video apparatus comprising:
-
a digital encoder receiving a first analogue signal and generating on an output a digital stream based on the first analogue signal;
a digital decoder receiving the digital stream and generating a second analogue video signal based on the digital stream and synchronised with the first analogue signal, wherein the digital decoder includes means for synchronising the second analogue signal to the first analogue signal.
