1. An encoder for coding a digital signal, said encoder comprising:

  • an encoder-input for receiving the digital signal;

    first data processing means for generating a first coded digital signal at a first output of the first data processing means and having an input coupled to the encoder-input;

    first encoder feedback means, having a first encoder memory means, for feeding-back at least a portion of the first coded digital signal wherein an output of the first encoder memory means is coupled to an input of the first data processing means and an input to the first encoder memory means is coupled to a second output of the first data processing means;

    reduction means, having an input coupled to the encoder-input, for filtering and subsampling the received digital signal;

    second data processing means for generating a second coded digital signal at a first output of the second data processing means and having an input coupled to an output of the reduction means;

    second encoder feedback means, having a second encoder memory means, for feeding-back at least a portion of the second coded digital signal wherein an output of the second encoder memory means is coupled to the input of the second data processing means and an input to the second encoder memory means is coupled to a second output of the second data processing means; and

    encoder coupling means for coupling the second data processing means to the first data processing means, said encoder coupling means comprising an encoder prediction means for generating an encoder prediction signal;

    wherein the encoder further comprises;

    means for deriving a position code from the digital signal, comparing the position code with at least one adjustable code, and transmitting a control signal to the encoder coupling means thereby decoupling, operative as a result of a comparison, the second data processing means and the first data processing means, wherein said deriving, comparing and transmitting means has an input coupled to the encoder input and an output coupled to a control input of the encoder coupling means.
