1. A television picture transmission system in whIch a transmitting section comprises a picture information components producing member, anti-aliasing filters for filtering said picture information components, a picture movement analyser for producing on the basis of the picture information components a quantity representing the movement therein, an output member of the anti-aliasing filters for coupling the input of a sub-sampling circuit to outputs of the anti-aliasing filters, said output member being controlled by the quantity representing the movement, a transmitter circuit for transmitting the information components from the sub-sampling via a transmission channel and an information multiplexer for applying to the transmitter circuit, in addition to the information from the sub-sampling circuit, output information of a threshold member, in which system a receiving section comprises a receiver circuit for receiving transmitted information components, interpolation filters for oversampling the information received, a receiver member for receiving the quantity representing the movement, an output member of the information filters for supplying the useful information and a demultiplexer circuit for on the one hand applying the samples received to the interpolation filter and on the other hand separating the information originating from the threshold member from the samples received, characterized in that in the transmitting section the number of anti-aliasing filters is at least three and the threshold member also acts on the output member of the anti-aliasing filters, and in the receiving section the number of interpolation filters is at least three and the demultiplexer circuit applies the threshold member output information of the transmitting section to a control input of the output member of the interpolation filters, whilst the filter output members of the transmitting and receiving sections are change-over switches.
