PLAYBACK AND MONITORING OF COMPRESSED BITSTREAMS

摘要

Apparatus for the playback and monitoring of bit-rate reduced bitstreams, comprising buffer means for communication with bitstream storage; an interface; and a bi-directional processing array connected between the buffer means and the interface, the processing array being configurable to modify and process data flowing in a first direction in a plurality of playback modes and to analyse and process data flowing in a second direction in a plurality of monitoring modes.
