  • Publication number: 20090141807
    Abstract: In some embodiments a system for processing video is disclosed. The system can include a video encoder/decoder module to accept video and to provide at least a portion of encoding functions on the video in a first mode and to perform at least a portion of decoding functions on video in a second mode. The system can also include an image processing module coupled to the video encoder/decoder, the image processing module having multiple modules to process images contained in the video. In addition the system can include a control unit coupled to the video encoder/decoder and the image processing module to determine an encoding mode of the encoder/decoder and to allocate resources of the image processing module to assist in encoding video. Other embodiments are disclosed.
