Abstract
A video signal encoding system includes a signal processor for segmenting encoded video data into transport blocks having a header section and a packed data section. The system also includes reset control apparatus for releasing resets of system components, after a global system reset, in a prescribed non-simultaneous phased sequence to enable signal processing to commence in the prescribed sequence. The phased reset release sequence begins when valid data is sensed as transiting the data lines.
Claims9
A video signal encoding system comprising:
- means responsive to a video signal for providing encoded video signal data;
- signal processing means, including a plurality of signal processing components, responsive to said encoded video data for providing segmented transport blocks of video data comprising groups of packed data and headers identifying associated ones of said groups, said components subject to exhibiting a reset condition wherein normal signal processing operation is inhibited, and exhibiting said normal operation when said reset condition is released;
- and
- resetting means coupled to said signal processing means for causing certain ones of said components to exhibit said reset condition;
- wherein
- said resetting means releases said certain components from said reset condition in a prescribed non-simultaneous sequence such that said certain components are uninhibited in said prescribed non-simultaneous sequence, respectively, to thereby exhibit normal operation in said non-simultaneous sequence.
