    Abstract: Instructions for a processing unit are stored in a number of memory banks, successive instructions being stored in successive, different memory banks. Whenever execution of an instruction is started, the reading of one instruction which will be executed more than one instruction cycle later is also started. Consequently, a plurality of instructions are being read in parallel from different memory banks. After the reading of an instruction, and before starting the execution of the instruction, the instruction passes through a pipeline in which the processing device detects whether the relevant instruction is a branch instruction. If this is so, the processing unit starts the reading in parallel of a number of instructions as from a branch target instruction. If it appears at a later stage that the branch is taken, said number of instructions is loaded into the pipeline in parallel.

    Abstract: A signal processing system comprising a source apparatus coupled to a destination apparatus, the source apparatus being arranged for supplying the destination apparatus with a signal comprising video data, a time-stamp and synchronization data representing a time-value of an instant of said supplying, the destination apparatus being arranged for receiving the signal, synchronizing a time-value of a clock in accordance with the synchronization data, detecting when the time-value of the clock corresponds to the time-stamp and for thereupon presenting the video data at an output, the system being characterized, in that it comprises a bus operable according to a time-slot allocation protocol, the source apparatus supplying the signal to the destination apparatus via the bus, the source apparatus comprising a first interface unit for buffering the signal until an allocated time-slot is available on the bus, the source apparatus setting the synchronization data according to an instant the signal is supplied to the first interface unit, the destination apparatus comprising a buffer, for buffering the signal prior to synchronizing the time-value of the clock for a predetermined interval, at least equal to a maximum wait-interval for the allocation of a time-slot on the bus, has elapsed after the instant the signal is supplied to the first interface unit.
