20100246665 | PARALLELIZATION OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE VIDEO ENCODING ON A SINGLE-CHIP MULTIPROCESSOR - High-quality video encoding may be implemented using a single-chip multiprocessor system. Video encoding may be parallelized to take advantage of multiple processing elements available on a single-chip multiprocessor system. Task level parallelism may comprise parallelizing encoding tasks, such as motion estimation, compensation, transformation, quantization, deblocking filtering, and the like across multiple processing elements. Data level parallelism may comprise segmenting video frame data into macroblock partitions and slabs adapted to provide data independence between parallel processing elements. Data communications and synchronization features of the single-chip system may be leveraged to provide for data sharing and synchronism between processing elements. | 09-30-2010 |
20090103624 | POLYMORPHIC CODEC SYSTEM AND METHOD - An input module obtains a media signal to be communicated to a destination system, after which an identification module identifies a plurality of segments within the media signal. A codec includes a selection module that automatically selects different compression methods to respectively compress at least two of the segments. The compression methods are automatically selected to produce a highest compression quality for the respective segments according to a set of criteria without exceeding a target data rate. A compression module within the codec then compresses the segments using the automatically-selected compression methods, after which an output module delivers the compressed segments to the destination system with an indication of which compression method was used to compress each segment. | 04-23-2009 |
