  • Apparatus for header generation
    Patent number: 5526054
    Abstract: A method for encoding bitstream headers in a processor where templates for the bitstream header are stored in a processor buffer. The templates are addressable by programmable instructions, and the processor has a status register containing a bit for each header type. The status register is modifiable during the encoding process with a data pattern indicating the headers needed for encoding with the bitstream. In this way when a bit is set to 1 the predefined header type is generated and shipped to the bitstream. The header is generated by processing the header buffer template entries associated with the header type.
