Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. A decoding device, comprising:
a controller configured to receive a bitstream, and classify the bitstream as a classified bitstream corresponding to blocks included in an identical row among a plurality of blocks defined by a matrix and included in a frame;
N decoders, each including a processor configured to perform decoding on the classified bitstream by receiving the classified bitstream and output decoding data, and a memory storing the decoding data,
wherein N is a natural number greater than or equal to 3; and
N buffers each configured to transmit, to the memory, the decoding data output by the processor, and respectively corresponding to the N decoders,
wherein a k−1th processor included in a k−1th decoder is configured to control a kth memory to store k−1th decoding data output from the k−1th decoder in the kth memory included in a kth decoder, and
a k−1th buffer corresponding to the k−1th decoder is configured to transmit the k−1th decoding data to the kth memory,
wherein k is an integer greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to N.
