Abstract: A broadcast module for a modular video camera is disclosed. The broadcast module is configured to generate a plurality of data streams formatted for broadcast purposes. Each data stream can represent a reduced-resolution representation of the video data captured with the video camera or each data stream can represent a fraction of a full-resolution portion of the video data captured with video camera. The broadcast module can apply color processing to a raw digital video stream to enable real-time previews on one or more monitors of captured video data. The broadcast module can also apply color processing to a raw digital video stream to enable storage of processed video data.

Abstract: A circuit array comprises a plurality of add/carry/select (ACS) circuits which operate in parallel to perform an operation required to implement convolutional coding for error correction in digital communications system. The ACS circuits are commonly used in Viterbi decoders. Each ACS circuit of the array operates in serial form with single bit-wide adders which function to implement addition of branch metrics, comparison of accumulated metrics, selection of the smallest accumulated metric for each state in a state machine and maintaining a path history to each state. As a result, interconnect between the ACS circuits is minimized.
