A narrowband video codec for generating an output stream of control, data, and error correction bits includes means for framing the outputs control and data bits into a series of sequential frames of bytes for transmission over an RF link of a controlled frequency. Each frame includes an identical sequence of bytes. Each frame of bytes includes, in sequence, two control bytes, a plurality of sequential sets of data bytes, and a plurality of error correction bytes. Each set of data bytes includes a sequence of at least one audio byte and a plurality of video bytes. At least one video byte is between each sequential audio byte. Each set of data bytes has its audio and video bytes in the same order as each other set of data bytes.

What is claimed is: 1. A narrowband video codec for generating an output stream of control, data, and error correction bits, said narrowband codec comprising: means for framing the output, control and data bits into a series of sequential frames of bytes for transmission over an rf link of a controlled frequency wherein each frame comprises an identical sequence of bytes; each frame comprising, in sequence: two control bytes; a plurality of sequential sets of data bytes, each set of data bytes comprising a sequence of at least one audio byte and a plurality of video bytes, at least one of said plurality of video bytes between each sequential audio byte, each set of data bytes having its audio and video bytes in the same order as each other set of data bytes; and a plurality of error correction bytes. 2. The narrowband video codec of claim 1 wherein each set of data bytes has the same number of video bytes between sequential audio bytes. 3.
