  • Multichannel television sound (MTS) stereo television encoder
    Publication number: 20040042621
    Abstract: A system and method serves to generate a composite audio signal capable of modulating a radio frequency carrier to a standard television channel for cable transmission. The system includes inputs for a first audio signal, a second audio signal, and a video signal. A third audio signal is generated which is the sum of the audio signals. A fourth audio signal is generated from the difference of the audio signals. The fourth audio signal is pre-emphasized twice and a timing signal is extracted. A first frequency pilot signal is generated from the timing signal. A second frequency subcarrier signal is also generated from the timing signal. The pre-emphasized fourth audio signal is compressed and modulated. The composite audio signal is generated from the third audio signal, the compressed and modulated fourth audio signal, and the pilot signal.
