Video-information encoding apparatus and method

摘要

A video encoding apparatus with a guarantee of a fixed processing time comprises a encoding unit (41) for performing an arithmetic encoding process with context modeling on the video signal; and a controlling unit (45, 46) for controlling the arithmetic encoding process so as to terminate the arithmetic encoding process in case of outputting raw data of the video signal as a bit stream and for inserting a bit subj ected to a terminal process of the arithmetic encoding process into the bit stream.
