Method and apparatus for applying post-processing to at least one video encoder output to generate output bitstream

Abstract

A video processing apparatus includes a video encoding circuit and a post-processing circuit. The video encoding circuit receives a first source data, and encodes the first source data to generate a first bitstream, wherein the first source data includes a first source luminance channel data and a first source chrominance channel data, and the first bitstream includes a first compressed luminance channel data and a first compressed chrominance channel data. The post-processing circuit derives an auxiliary compressed chrominance channel data from an auxiliary input, and generates and outputs an output bitstream that includes the first compressed luminance channel data and the auxiliary compressed chrominance channel data.
