A MEDIA PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A media processing system (30) is provided including a DRAM (34, 46) that includes a plurality of storage locations (34, 40, 46) for storing digital data being processed by said media processing system (30), said digital data including video (36) that is compressed in a standardized format, a system for processing (30) said digital data that includes said standardized format compressed video data to produce compressed video images and image data (36), a system for decoding said standardized format compressed video images to generate full motion video pixel data, a system for sharing said DRAM (34, 46) between said processing means and said decoding means. The media processing (30) may have a plurality of processing elements (66, 68, 70, 72) connected together in parallel, a system for controlling and distributing to each of said processing elements (66, 68, 70, 72).
