Aspects of digital video transmission systems are incorporated into a low-cost equipment for engineering training purposes. The equipment described simulates a p.c.m. monochrome video link and incorporates scrambling, automatic word framing and error concealment, Word framing and the problem of error extension are discussed in some detail.
