Claim Text:
1. A video decoder comprising: an entropy decoding device that generates entropy decoded (EDC) data from an encoded video signal; and a multi-format video decoding device, coupled to the entropy decoding device, includes at least one vector processor unit for generating a decoded video signal from the EDC data, wherein the at least one vector processor unit is programmed via VPU instructions, wherein at least one of the VPU instructions includes non-vector data and a non-vector processing command to be executed by the at least one vector processor unit and wherein the non-vector processing command includes at least one of: a scalar logical operation on the non-vector data, and a scalar arithmetic operation on the non-vector data, and wherein the VPU instructions include vector data and a vector processing commands to be executed by the at least one vector processor unit and wherein the vector processing commands include mask creation commands, data masking commands, and data move commands.
