Means for controlling the reset in a video signal encoder

An arrangement for coding video signals, marked by means responsive to a video signal means (310) for providing encoded video signal data; a signal processing means (300) including a plurality (314, 316) includes signal processing components, responsive to the encoded video data to provide segmented transport blocks of video data, consisting of packed from groups of data and of intentions, the associated identify copies of these groups, wherein the blocks can take a reset state in which a normal signal processing operation is disabled, and show a normal operation when the reset state is released, and reset means (110) coupled to the signal processing means to enable certain copies of the blocks in a reset state, wherein the reset means releases the certain blocks in a prescribed non-simultaneous sequence from the reset state, so that these particular devices are unlocked in the prescribed non-simultaneous sequence, respectively, to resume normal operations as in the non-simultaneous sequence.
