Motion picture coder and system for controlling the same

Abstract

A motion picture coder for coding plural macro blocks of motion picture data based on a standardizing system is disclosed. The coder comprises first and second pipe-lined processors executing different coding processes respectively, both of which are separated from one another so as to accomplish a parallel operation thereof. The first processor executes a motion vector detection for a second macro block, an inter-frame addition for a first macro block and an inter-frame difference for the first macro block. The second processor executes a discrete cosine transform for the first macro block, a quantization for the first macro block, an inverse quantization for the first macro block, an inverse discrete cosine transform for the first macro block and a loop filtering for the second macro block. The motion vector detection and the discrete cosine transform are concurrently processed and the inter-frame addition and the loop filtering are concurrently processed, thereby the processing times for each macro block are shortened and thus a high speed processing is realized.
