Abstract: A system-on-a-chip (SOC) that is able to randomly access target data of a video/image includes a JPEG decoder, a graphic processing unit (GPU) and a central processing unit (CPU). The JPEG decoder receives an input stream having a sequentially accessible first compression format, decodes the input stream to generate first data, and encodes the first data to generate an output stream having a randomly accessible second compression format. The GPU receives the output stream and performs graphic processing on the output stream. Therefore, the SOC readily performs graphic processing by repeatedly receiving video/image data in a short time from a storage unit in which the data is stored using a randomly accessible compression format.
