MOVING IMAGE DECODING PROCESSOR AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce overhead for the start of parallel decoding processing.SOLUTION: A moving image decoding processor 1 includes: a syntax interpretation unit 10; and first and second moving image processing units 20 and 21. A coded bit stream BS including the information of the maximum coding unit LCU having at least a predetermined pixel size is supplied to the input terminal of the syntax interpretation unit 10. The syntax interpretation unit 10 executes the syntax interpretation of the syntax of the coded bit stream BS to generate first and second intermediate streams whose parallel processing is possible from the maximum coding unit. The first and second moving image processing units 20 and 21 perform the parallel processing of the first and second intermediate streams generated from the syntax interpretation unit 10.
