Abstract: A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a tuner configured to receive a broadcast signal including a plurality of frames by tuning a channel, a display configured to display the received broadcast signal, an interface comprising interface circuitry configured to receive a channel change command, communication circuitry configured to receive timing information of the reference frame of the broadcast signal provided through a channel tuned according to the channel change command from an external apparatus, and a processor configured to, in response to the channel change command being received, predict timing for receiving the reference frame through the tuner based on the timing information of the reference frame received through the communication circuitry, to determine timing for performing channel tuning according to the channel change command based on the predicted timing, and to delay the channel tuning until the determined timing.

Abstract: A broadcast receiving device and method are provided. The broadcast receiving device includes a receiving unit which selects a channel and receives a first broadcast signal that includes a plurality of frames, a signal processing unit which processes the first broadcast signal, a control unit which controls the receiving unit to select another channel when a channel change command is input, a communication unit which receives from an external device at least one reference frame used to decode a frame, which corresponds to a time when the channel change command was input, from among frames of a second broadcast signal received from the another channel, and a storage unit which stores the at least one reference frame. When the channel change command is input, the signal processing unit decodes the frames of the second broadcast signal by using the at least one reference frame.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for dispatching a very long instruction word (VLIW) instruction having a variable length are provided. The apparatus for dispatching a VLIW instruction includes a packet buffer for storing at least one or more VLIW instructions, and a decoding unit configured to constitute a VLIW instruction to be currently executed among the VLIW instructions stored in the packet buffer and decode predetermined bits of each sub-instruction contained in the VLIW instruction. The apparatus dispatches a corresponding sub-instruction to an FU which corresponds to each sub-instruction, based on the results of decoding performed in the decoding unit, position information on the sub-instructions that are placed on the packet buffer, and position information on the sub-instructions that are placed in the current VLIW instruction. Sub-instructions can be effectively dispatched to corresponding FUs using simple decoding logic even in a case where the length of the VLIW instruction is not fixed.
