Encoder and associated signal processing method

Abstract

The present invention provides an encoder including a quantization circuit, a control circuit and an encoding circuit is disclosed. The quantization circuit is configured to generate quantized data corresponding to a CTU according to image data, wherein the CTU comprises at least one TU. The control circuit is configured to determine a number of allocated bits for each TU in the CTU, where the number of allocated bits for each TU is determined based on a sum of remaining bits of the TUs that have been encoded. The encoding circuit is configured to encode each TU to obtain encoded data according to the number of allocated bits of the TU in the CTU.
