Abstract

Subtitling data is generated for association with video signals. The subtitling data may be combined with the video signals, by placing it in vertical blanking periods for example, or it may be supplied over an associated data channel, particularly when the video signal has undergone digital compression. A representation of displayable characters are generated in the form of a pixel array and output codes are generated representing compressed lines of said array. Run-length encoding is performed by recursively addressing a look-up table and shifting new input data to provide addresses to said look-up table as required. The output codes are synchronised to the video frames for transmission, via terrestrial broadcast, cable or satellite, or for storage.
