Abstract: Described herein is a method and system for formatting encoded video data. The encoder core makes use of unit structures with types that are undefined. These units are inserted into the encoder core output to carry additional information to a transport module. The transport module interprets the units for packetizing and/or multiplexing purposes. After being interpreted, the units may be taken out from the encoder core output, but there should be no adverse effects even if they are left in since no decoding process is defined for their particular type.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing pixels within an encoded video stream are disclosed herein. Aspects of the method may comprise acquiring on a chip, a prediction weight type from the encoded video stream. Prediction weight data for at least one prediction pixel within the encoded video stream may be acquired based on the prediction weight type. A look-up table entry in a look-up table may be generated for the prediction pixel utilizing the prediction weight data. A plurality of current pixels within the encoded video stream may be estimated utilizing the look-up table entry. The prediction weight type may correspond to a plurality of reference pictures within the encoded video stream. A prediction weight value, offset value and motion vector data for the prediction pixel may be acquired on the chip, if the prediction weight type comprises an explicit prediction weight type.

Abstract: Multi-component data is managed. Pixel image data is stored in a machine readable memory device. The pixel image data is decomposed into multiple colorspace components. The multiple colorspace components are stored in one continuous machine-readable memory segment of a machine-readable memory. The machine-readable memory has one or more burst boundaries.

Abstract: In digital-to-analog conversion systems, a method and system for increased effective resolution in an N-bit DAC are provided. Additional resolution may be provided in an N-bit DAC by increasing the number of periods that an N-bit PWM may utilize to generate an output train of pulse widths with a desired duty cycle. An increased resolution bits parameter may correspond to the additional bits necessary to provide the increased resolution. An iterative process by which a desired value is converted into a sequence of N-bit control words may be based on a desired analog value and the increased resolution bits parameter. In addition to higher resolution, most of the output pulse AC energy is concentrated at the N-bit PWM basic frequency and above, allowing for simpler analog filtering of the pulse width modulated signal.
