  • Patent number: 8774540
    Abstract: A method and system for decoding an image having a plurality of tiles is provided. The system performs entropy decoding of bit information to generate bin information where the bin information is in tile order. The system converts the bin information from tile order to raster order. Then the system performs symbol decoding of the bin information in raster order.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7583732
    Abstract: Bursts of data are managed. Data is stored in a machine readable memory device a first time at a first memory address. The machine readable memory device has one or more burst boundaries. The first memory address has a first alignment with respect to the burst boundaries. The data is stored in the machine readable memory device a second time at a second memory address. The second memory address has a second alignment with respect to the burst boundaries.

  • Publication number: 20090174816
    Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for detection of video connections are provided. In this regard, a pulse of current may be applied to a video interface and a voltage differential resulting from the applied current pulse may be measured to determine whether the video interface is connected to a video device. The current pulse may be a Hsync pulse of a video signal which may occur during a vertical blanking time of the video signal. A voltage differential resulting from each of a plurality of Hsync pulses occurring over one or more frames of said video signals may be measured. The current pulse may be a pulse in a pulse train. A voltage differential resulting from each of a plurality of pulses in a pulse train occurring over a period of time may be measured.

  • Publication number: 20080100631
    Abstract: In one embodiment, there is presented an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit comprises a transport processor and a host processor. The transport processor parses a media stream. The host processor determines whether a media stream is Blu-ray or HD-DVD and configures the transport processor based on whether the media stream is Blu-ray or HD-DVD.

  • Publication number: 20080018661
    Abstract: Multi-component data is managed. Pixel image data is stored in a machine readable memory device. The pixel image data is decomposed into multiple colorspace components. The multiple colorspace components are stored in one continuous machine-readable memory segment of a machine-readable memory. The machine-readable memory has one or more burst boundaries.
