  • Method and/or architecture for implementing MPEG frame display using four frame stores
    Patent number: 7010046
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a decode frame store, a B frame store, a first anchor frame store, and a second anchor frame store. The decode frame store may be configured to decode one or more free frames and generate one or more B video images and one or more anchor video images. The B frame store may be configured to receive the one or more B video images from the decode frame store. The first anchor frame store may be configured to receive the one or more anchor video images from the decode frame store. The second anchor frame store may be configured to receive the one or more anchor video images from the first anchor frame store.

  • Method of detecting internal frame skips by MPEG video decoders
    Patent number: 6952452
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be configured to (i) generate a random number signal, (ii) read a data signal, and (iii) generate one or more control signals. The second circuit may be configured to (i) store the random number signal, (ii) receive and store a decoded video signal, and (iii) present the data signal. The first circuit may be further configured to compare the data signal with the random number signal and (i) when the data signal matches the random number signal generate a first of the control signals and (ii) when the data signal fails to match the random number signal generate a second of the control signals.
