Videosignalkodierungsgerät, Kodierungsverfahren und Videosignalübertragungssystem

A signal coding apparatus, which is coupled, via a transmission path (36), to a receiver having a receiver buffer (37) and a decoder (38), includes a coding unit (32) for coding a signal and outputting information generated in a frame unit, the information being a coded signal. The apparatus also includes a transmitter buffer (33) for temporarily storing the information, and a controller (34, 35) for controlling an amount of the information on the basis of a storage capacity of the receiver buffer and an amount of the information which is contained in a frame per a unit time. There is also provided a method used in the above coding apparatus, and a signal coding transmission system employing the signal coding apparatus.
