Abstract
A system and method that process encoded data, wherein the encoded data is an encoded video stream. The encoded data may be buffered and the characteristics of the buffered encoded data may be determined and used to select a decoding table from a plurality of decoding tables. An encoded word may then be decoded using the selected decoding table. The output of the decoding table may be the corresponding decoded word and the size of the encoded word. The size of the encoded word may be utilized to shift the buffered encoded data. The decoded word may be sent to the appropriate portion of the system.
Claims21
A system that processes encoded data, the system comprising:
- a decoder comprising:
- a syntax element decoder;
- and
- at least one processor adapted to receive the encoded data, the at least one processor further adapted to provide decoding information to the syntax element decoder based on the encoded data;
- the syntax element decoder adapted to decode the encoded data based on the decoding information to produce decoded data;
- the syntax element decoder further adapted to provide the decoded data to the at least one processor.
A method that processes encoded data, the method comprising:
- receiving encoded data from a syntax element decoder by a processor;
- transmitting selected decoding information from the processor to the syntax element decoder based on the encoded data;
- decoding the encoded data using the decoding information to generate decoded data;
- transmitting the decoded data to the processor from the syntax element decoder.
