Video decoder with vector processor and methods for use therewith

摘要

A multi-format video decoder includes an entropy decoding device that generates entropy decoded (EDC) data from an encoded video signal. A multi-format video decoding device includes a memory module that stores format configuration data corresponding to a plurality of video coding formats. A plurality of vector processor units generate a decoded video signal from the EDC data, wherein at least one of the plurality of vector processors include a vector function module that generates vector function data based on a vector function of a first input vector and a second input vector. A selection module selects each element of a vector output as one of: a corresponding element of the vector function data, and a corresponding element of a third input vector.
