Abstract:
CABAC coefficient decoding may be increased to two bins per clock. Since coefficients comprise most of the bitstream, this improvement almost doubles the CABAC decoding for a low quantization parameter bitstream (with lots of coefficients).
Abstract:
Context-adaptive variable length bitstream decoding performance may be improved and power consumption reduced by pushing the variable length decoding beyond one syntax element per clock pulse.
Abstract:
Systems, devices and methods are described including using, during a single clock cycle, one Context-Based Adaptive Arithmetic Coding (CABAC) engine to encode one bin value and another CABAC engine to encode another bin value. The probability state index of each CABAC engine may provided to the other CABAC engine when the bin values are encoded.
Abstract:
A portion of a video frame is transferred via a memory burst transfer, from memory to an on-chip buffer. The on-chip buffer has a width that is the same as the memory burst width for the memory. Video processing is performed upon the transferred portion. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for hardware-base edge handling in video post-processing. In one embodiment, the method includes the identification of at least one unstored input pixel required to compute an output pixel during output pixel computation. Once identified, a pixel value is generated for the at least one unstored input pixel according to a detected edge handling mode. The generation of the pixel value for the unstored input pixel is performed, in one embodiment, if a position of the unstored input pixel is outside a pixel frame boundary. For example, in one embodiment, for output pixel computation of a scaling operation, the frame boundaries include a left (top) edge and a right (bottom) edge for which input pixels required to compute output pixels at or near the frame boundaries do not exist. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
