Abstract: A system and method are provided including a deblocker processor that reads a first data load for a first processing block from a buffer. The deblocker processor holds the first data load in a storage array in response to the first data load not including a valid value for a first quantization parameter and receives a second data load for a second processing block from the buffer. In response to the second data load including a valid value for a second quantization parameter, the deblocker processor processes the first processing block based on the second quantization parameter.

Abstract: A video processing device can determine whether an input pixel includes a keyed video parameter prior to filtering the input pixel. A non-keyed substitute pixel can be generated for the input pixel that includes the keyed video parameter. The non-keyed substitute pixel can be filtered if the input pixel included the keyed video parameter, otherwise the input pixel can be filtered.

The video processing device may determine, prior to processing of a pixel in one of the plurality of streams whether the pixel comprises one or more keyed video parameters; and if the pixel comprises at least one keyed parameter, one or more other pixels may be selected, and a video parameter corresponding to the at least one keyed video parameter of the pixel may be generated based on the selected one or more other pixels. The generated video parameter may then be utilized instead of the at least one keyed video parameter during the processing of the pixel. This may comprise luma and/or chroma based scaling. Outputs of the processing of the pixel may be post-processed, by clamping at least one of the video parameters.
