摘要:
A method for selectable quantization for use in an encoder for compressing video and/or audio data includes processing that begins by receiving discrete cosine transform data of an encoded signal. The processing continues by obtaining a quantization table. The processing then continues by obtaining a plurality of scaling factors. The process then continues by generating a plurality of quantized value sets of the discrete cosine transform data based on the quantization table and the plurality of quantization scaling factors. The resulting data is then multiplied separately by each of the quantization scaling factors to produce the plurality of quantized values sets. The process then continues by selecting one of the plurality of quantized value sets based on quantization selection criteria.

A method for selectable quantization for use in an encoder for compressing video and/or audio data includes processing that begins by receiving discrete cosine transform data of an encoded signal. The processing continues by generating a plurality of quantization matrixes of discrete cosine transform data based on a quantization table and a plurality of quantization scaling factors. The process continues by analyzing the plurality of quantization matrixes to identify one of the plurality of quantization matrixes having a best match of reduced data content and acceptable video quality. The processing continues by selecting the one of the plurality of quantized matrixes.

A system and a method for transcoding multiple media channels are provided. The system includes a first processor to parse a media data stream having one or more media data channels and a vector processor to decompress, scale, and then compress the parsed media channel. A parsed media data channel, in one embodiment, is accessed using a bit manipulator and packetized into decoder instruction packets and transmitted to the vector processor using a sequencer. The vector processor decompresses the decoder instruction pacets, scales a macroblock generated from the packets, and then compresses the scaled macroblock. As a result, the scaled and compressed output has less data associated with the media channel, allowing for faster and/or more efficient storage or transmission. A reduced sized scale buffer is associated with another disclosed embodiment.

A method and apparatus for controlling the amount of quantization processing used within an encoder that compresses video and/or audio data include processing that begins by receiving discrete cosine transform data of a block of a frame of data. The process then proceeds by obtaining a quantization table related to the frame of data. The processing then continues by obtaining a quantization scaling factor related to the frame. The processing then continues by determining whether quantization processing limits have been exceeded for quantization of preceding blocks of the frame of data. If the number of bits processed for the preceding blocks exceeds a certain desired level, the processing increases the quantization scaling factor. The processing then continues by generating quantization data from the discrete cosine transform data, the quantization table and the increased quantization scaling factor.

A video decoder includes an entropy decoding device that generates entropy decoded (EDC) data from an encoded video signal. A multi-format video decoding device includes a plurality of vector processor units that generate a decoded video signal from the EDC data. The plurality of vector processing units includes at least one filter vector processor that operates in conjunction with a plurality of programmable filter parameters.

A technique for encoding and decoding video information uses a plurality of video processing modules (VPMs), whereby each video processing module is dedicated to a particular video processing function, such as filtering, matrix arithmetic operations, and the like. Information is transferred between the video processing modules using a set of first-in first-out (FIFO) buffers. For example, to transfer pixel information from a first VPM to a second VPM, the first VPM stores the pixel information at the head of a FIFO buffer, while the second VPM retrieves information from the tail of the FIFO buffer. The FIFO buffer thus permits transfer of information between the VPMs without storage of the information to a cache or other techniques that can reduce video processing speed.

A multimedia server receives a plurality of programs of a multimedia source. The multimedia server includes a tuning module to receive the plurality of programs and to select a set of programs from the plurality of programs based on a set of program select commands that is derived from select requests. A program mixer mixes the set of programs into a stream of program data. One or more transceiving modules transmit the stream of program data on to corresponding communication paths and receive the select requests. A client module produces the select requests for one or more clients. The client module includes a selection module to produce at least one of the select requests. A network interface controller transmits at least one of select requests to the multimedia server and receives the stream of program data via the communication path or paths in response.
