This paper proposes a compatible coding scheme for interlaced HDTV. This scheme provides a standard definition signal and a second channel containing the additional information required to reach the HD resolution. The global scheme is of the pyramidal type: the standard TV is obtained by downsampling the HDTV signal by means of a field-based operation. The standard TV signal is coded, decoded, and upsampled. It is used as a prediction of the HD signal and the prediction error is coded in a second channel. In both branches, motion-compensated hybrid DCT coding is used. In addition, the DCT is taken within the frame.
