ABSTRACT:
A Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) video/audio data bitstream includes macroblocks of video data which can each include input Motion Compensation (M) data and input discrete cosine Transform Coded (I) data. A motion pipeline processes the input M data to produce processed M data, and a transform pipeline processes the input I data to produce processed I data. A controller controls the motion pipeline and the transform pipeline to concurrently process the input M data and the input I data respectively such that a length of time required for processing each macroblock is variable and is determined by the largest of a length of time required for the motion pipeline to process the input M data and a length of time required for the transform pipeline to process the input I data of the macroblock. The time required to process all of the macroblocks in a video picture is statistically less than if a fixed length of time were provided for processing each macroblock based on a worst case scenario, thereby reducing the memory bandwidth requirement of the system.
