Claim:
1. A video encoding pipeline configured to encode image data, comprising: a main pipeline configured to receive image data and to determine encoding operational parameters used to encode the image data, wherein the main pipeline comprises: syntax element binarization circuitry configured to binarize syntax elements, the syntax element binarization circuitry comprising a first hardware block configured to: a second hardware block configured to: inter-frame prediction circuitry configured to determine a first luma prediction sample based at least in part on a candidate inter-frame prediction mode; intra-frame prediction circuitry configured to determine a candidate intra-frame prediction mode and to determine a second luma prediction sample based at least in part on a candidate intra-frame prediction mode; chroma reconstruction circuitry configured to determine chroma components of reconstructed image data based at least in part on a prediction mode determined by mode decision circuitry; luma reconstruction circuitry configured to determine a luma component of the reconstructed image data based at least in part on the prediction mode determined by the mode decision circuitry; and back-end-filter circuitry configured to filter the reconstructed image data.
