Abstract: According to one embodiment, a playback apparatus includes a multimedia processor configured to allocate a first stream buffer area in a first memory for storing a encoded video data, and includes a decoder configured to decode the encoded video data, a main processor configured to execute a decoding program application for decoding the encoded video data, and to execute a switching program application configured to switch a destination where the decoding is executed between the multimedia processor and the decoding program application such that a picture group which is a unit for managing the encoded video data is not separately supplied to two destinations, in response to a switching request, wherein the decoding program application is configured to allocate a second stream buffer area in a second memory for storing the encoded video data and a decoding buffer area in the second memory for storing data related to decoding.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a playback apparatus includes a multimedia processor having a decoding circuit to decode encoded video data and an arithmetic module configured to execute high pixel conversion for increasing a quantity of pixels of the decoded video data, a decoding module configured to decode the encoded video data, an issuing module configured to issue a changeover request for changing over between execution and non-execution of the high pixel conversion, and a changeover module configured to change over a providing destination of the encoded video data from any one of the multimedia processor and the decoding module to the other one thereof such that a picture group structure which is a unit for controlling the encoded video data is not divided, in response to the changeover request issued by the issuing module.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for processing video and audio data received in a decoding system are provided. The method includes the following steps. When a program clock reference (PCR) is unavailable in the system, a system time clock (STC) is recovered by using a presentation time stamp (PTS) of video or audio data, or a linear combination result of the PTS of the video data and the PTS of the audio data. The STC is compared with the PTSs of the currently captured and audio data, and a current data processing mode is determined. A difference between the PTS of the video data and the PTS of the audio data is monitored. An absolute value of the difference is compared with a preset threshold value, and when the absolute value is greater than or equal to the threshold value, an asynchronous play mode is adopted as a system play mode; otherwise, a synchronous play mode is adopted as the system play mode.

Abstract: In case continuous reproduction is commanded from a first AV stream to a second AV stream, a third AV stream, made up of a preset portion of the first AV stream and a preset portion of the second AV stream, is generated. The third AV stream is reproduced when reproduction is switched from the first AV stream to the second AV stream. As information pertinent to the third AV stream, the address information of a source packet of the first AV stream at a time of switching from the first AV stream to the third AV stream and the address information of a source packet of the second AV stream at a time of switching from the third AV stream to the second AV stream, are generated. This enables reproduction such as to maintain continuity between separately recorded AV streams.

Abstract: A BD-ROM contains an AVClip in which a video stream is multiplexed with an interactive graphics stream. The video stream constitutes a moving picture. On the other hand, the graphics stream constitutes menu presentations to be combined with a moving picture. The graphics stream includes a plurality of display sets constituting the menu presentations. Each of the display sets has interactive control information (ICS). Among the display sets belonging to the graphics stream, the interactive control information (ICS) other than the one belonging to the head one include version information (page_version_number) indicating whether or not content of the menu presentation has changed with respect to the previous Display Set.

Abstract: A technique for recording information in a battery operated device is provided such that quality level of the recorded information may be changed “on the fly.” In one embodiment, while persistently recording information at a first quality level, the battery operated device may, in response to an input a desire or need to change recording quality level, thereafter persistently record the information at a second quality level different from the first quality level, without interrupting the continuity of the recording session. In a presently preferred embodiment, the information being recorded may comprise video information or audio information. Subsequent inputs indicating the need to change recording quality level yet again may also be received thereby causing the battery operated device to persistently record the information at yet another quality level, which quality level may be the same as the first quality level.

Abstract: Receiver receives a compressed 3D video comprising a base view video and an enhancement view video. The video receiver determines a random access that occurs at a two-view misaligned base view RAP to start decoding activities on the received compressed 3D video based on a corresponding two-view aligned random access point (RAP). The corresponding two-view aligned RAP is adjacent to the two-view misaligned base view RAP. Pictures in the received compressed 3D video are buffered for the two-view misaligned base view RAP to be decoded staring from the corresponding two-view aligned RAP. One or more pictures in the enhancement view video are interpolated based on the two-view misaligned base view RAP. The video receiver selects a portion of the buffered pictures to be decoded to facilitate a trick mode in personal video recording (PVR) operations for random access at the two-view misaligned RAP.

Abstract: A video bit stream with pictures comprising inter-coded content can be decoded upon receiving a channel start or file seek instruction. Pictures for beginning decoding and display of the bit stream can be selected based at least in part on one or more tuning parameters that set a preference between a latency of beginning to display video and possible defects in the displayed video. In some embodiments, to implement decoding upon a channel start or file seek, one or more types of data are generated for one or more pictures. For example, picture order counts are generated for pictures after a channel start or file seek operation. As another example, a decoder generates a frame number value that triggers re-initialization of a reference picture buffer before decoding after a channel start or file seek operation.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a video processing apparatus includes a decoding module, a detection module, a frame rate calculation module, and a display timing determining module. The decoding module decodes encoded moving image data including processing units each of which includes pictures for a predetermined reproduction time. The detection module detects picture group information of a reproduction target processing unit, the information indicative of the number of pictures and the ratio of progressive frame pictures to interlaced field pictures. The frame rate calculation module calculates a frame rate corresponding to a reproduced processing unit preceding the target unit based on picture group information detected when the preceding unit is decoded, if the target unit includes no timing information indicating display timing of pictures. The display timing determining module determines display timings for the pictures in the target unit based on the frame rate.
