Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for merging compressed access units according to compression rates and/or positions of the respective compressed access units. The method can include receiving a sequence of compressed access units corresponding to a sequence of raw access units partitioned from an image or a video frame and corresponding to a sequence of memory spaces in a frame buffer, determining a merged access unit including at least two consecutive compressed access units based on compression rates and/or positions of the sequence of compressed access units. The merged access unit is to be stored in the frame buffer with a reduced gap between the at least two consecutive compressed access units compared with storing the at least two consecutive compressed access units in corresponding memory spaces in the sequence of memory spaces.

Abstract: An exemplary video processing apparatus includes a first detection unit, a second detection unit, a format conversion control unit, and a format conversion processing unit. The first detection unit detects a video format of a video input. The second detection unit detects a display capability of a display device. The format conversion control unit determines whether the video input has a three-dimensional (3D) video format or a two-dimensional (2D) video format by referring to the detected video format, determines whether the display device supports a 3D video format or a 2D video format by referring to the detected display capability, and accordingly generates a control signal. The format conversion processing unit is controlled by the control signal to generate a video output satisfying the detected display capability according to the video input when the video input does not satisfy the detected display capability.
