<p>There is provided a signal processing apparatus for performing signal processing of image data in units of blocks each consisting of n (vertical) x m (horizontal) pixels, including a memory for storing the image data, a division unit for dividing image data in one horizontal period of the image data into burst lengths, each of which equals at least a multiple of m and in which the multiple of m x n is equal to or less than the capacity of the memory, and an allocation unit for allocating data sequences of the burst length at an identical row address so that all image data in the block are aligned at the identical row address. There is provided a signal processing apparatus including a memory unit for storing data to be processed and other data, a signal processing unit for performing predetermined signal processing for the data while accessing the memory unit, and a control unit for controlling read/write of the data with respect to the memory unit, wherein the control unit allocates the data in the memory unit in accordance with the processing order and the processing unit by the signal processing unit, and stores the other data which is not to be processed in an empty area in the memory unit. There is provided a storage method for storing image data in a memory to perform signal processing of the image data in units of blocks each consisting of n (vertical) x m (horizontal) pixels, including the step of dividing image data in one horizontal period of the image data into blocks each having a burst length, which equals at least a multiple of m and in which the multiple of m x n is equal to or less than the capacity of the memory, and the step of allocating data sequences of the burst length at an identical row address so that all image data in the block are aligned at the identical row address. There is provided a signal processing method including the step of storing data to be processed and other data in a memory, the step of performing predetermined signal processing for the data while accessing the memory, and the step of controlling read/write of the data with respect to the memory, wherein the control step includes the step of allocating the data in the memory in accordance with the processing order and the processing unit in the signal processing step, and storing the other data which is not to be processed in an empty area in the memory. There is provided an image processing apparatus having a first input unit for inputting a video signal, a second input unit for inputting a control signal indicating a special effect mode to be given to the video signal, a compression unit for compressing the video signal input by the first input unit, a memory unit for storing the video signal, and a memory control unit for controlling the memory unit to selectively store one of the video signal compressed by the compression unit, and the video signal which is not compressed, in accordance with the control signal. <IMAGE></p> |
