  • Method and Device for Reordering Video Information
    Publication number: 20130070849
    Abstract: A method and device that allow picture slices of a Video stream to be processed in an order different than the order they were received is disclosed. Information mapping the location of picture slices that are stored in the order they were received is stored to allow subsequent processing to access the picture slice in any order, including render order.

  • DEVICE FOR DECODING A VIDEO STREAM AND METHOD THEREOF
    Publication number: 20100111166
    Abstract: A device is disclosed having a motion vector processing module to determine a first set of motion vectors associated with a macroblock of a video picture. A motion vector reduction module determines a second set of motion vectors, based on the first set of motion vectors, associated the macroblock, the second set having fewer motion vectors than the first set.

  • METHOD AND DEVICE OF PROCESSING VIDEO
    Publication number: 20100053181
    Abstract: A memory controller is disclosed that allocates local memory space to a set of macroblocks of a picture being processed. Information associated with a specific macroblock of the set of macroblocks is written to non-local memory when it is no longer needed to complete processing of a current row of macroblocks. When information associated with the specific macroblock is later needed to process a different row of macroblocks, the memory controller allocates local memory space to the specific macroblock and stores the previously saved information from non-local memory to the local memory.
