Abstract
A video encoder (100) can transform an incoming sequence of uncompressed pictures into compressed pictures, which may be predictive inter-picture coded pictures (108), bidirectionally inter-picture coded pictures (110) or intra-picture coded pictures (106). These pictures are called, P-pictures, B-pictures, respectively I-pictures. Since B-pictures use I-pictures and P-pictures as predictions, they have to be coded later. This requires re-ordering the picture sequence. The video encoder (100) comprises a reorder picture pool (104) to reorder compressed pictures.
Claims12
A video encoder (100) that is designed to transform an incoming sequence of uncompressed pictures into compressed pictures, which comprises a reorder picture pool (104), characterized in that the reorder picture pool (104) is designed to reorder a number of the compressed pictures.
A video recording apparatus (500) comprising:
- capturing means (502) for capturing video data, representing a sequence of uncompressed pictures;
- a video encoder (100) that is designed to transform an incoming sequence of uncompressed pictures into compressed pictures, which comprises a reorder picture pool (104);
- and
- storage means (506) for storing data, representing compressed pictures, characterized in that the reorder picture pool (104) is designed to reorder a number of the compressed pictures.
