Abstract
A new device and method allows simple transformation of a high resolution video image, still or full motion, into a number of segments, each of which can be converted to a standard NTSC or PAL television frame. Each frame can be encoded with information such as segment location and possibly time or other information and then stored or transmitted as a standard television signal. The original high resolution video image can be reconstructed by selecting each television frame and using the encoded information to reassemble the segments. The reconstructed image has full original resolution but, depending on the image, may not be able to reproduce motion at full speed.
