Encoded wideband digital transmission signal and record carrier recorded with such a signal
First Claim
1. A transmission signal which is an article of manufacture, produced by encoding a wideband digital signal of a specific sampling frequency Fs in an encoder, the transmission signal comprising consecutive frames, each frame comprising a plurality of information packets (IP), each information packet being composed of N bits, N being larger than 1, and a frame comprising at least a first frame portion including synchronization information, characterized in that:
- the number B of information packets in one frame has a relation to a value P, such that, if P in the formula

Abstract
Reproduction accuracy of a digital signal, representing for example stereo audio signals, is improved by transmitting sample data which have been encoded to form transmission signals. The transmission signals are arranged in consecutive frames, each frame including a plurality of information packets, and each information packet including N bits. The number of information packets in a frame is determined by the ratio of the product of the transmission bitrate and the number of samples represented in the frame, to the product of the number of bits in a packet and the sampling frequency. The transmission signals are recorded in a record carrier, or are transmitted in real time. In a digital stereo audio signal embodiment the samples may be subband encoded or transform encoded. The transmission signal may include an indicator signal indicating a combination of certain samples, or scale factor signals for specific components of the sampled Signal.
