A data stream representing a set of coefficients (Wk) participating in a representation of a digital hologram by being respectively associated with tuples, each of the tuples comprising a first spatial parameter, a second spatial parameter, a first frequency parameter and a second frequency parameter, the data stream comprising, for at least one pair of respective values of the first frequency parameter and the second frequency parameter:
- position data indicative of positions that are associated, respectively, with non-zero coefficients from a set of positions associated, in a predefined manner, with the coefficients that are associated, respectively, with the different tuples defined by said pair of values of the first frequency parameter and the second frequency parameter;
- data representative of the coefficients that are associated, respectively, with the positions indicated by said position data.
