  • Method and apparatus for parallelization of image compression encoders
    Patent number: 8098941
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for compressing image data include a plurality of core encoders for receiving a respective plurality of streams of data in parallel and for compressing the received data, a plurality of output buffers for respectively receiving the compressed data from each of the plurality of core encoders, and a recombination circuit for recombining the compressed data.

  • Method and apparatus for controlling imager output data rate
    Publication number: 20070041391
    Abstract: A real-time application, such as e.g., an imager, that dynamically adjusts the output rate of an encoder and output rate of a buffer memory based on the fullness level of the buffer. Further, the slew rate of the clock and data signals input into output buffer drivers from the output buffer memory may be dynamically adjusted.
