Abstract:
1. An apparatus for storing and retrieving digital video data, comprising: An interface couple to a system bus and configured to receive from the system bus a plurality of data bits arranged in a data bit pattern; A plurality of multiplexers, each configured to receive from the interface an associated one of the plurality of data bits in the data bit pattern and its inverse, and configured to output one of the associated one of the plurality data bits or its inverse according to a preprogrammed bit altering scheme, the output of each of the plurality of multiplexers being combined to form an altered data bit pattern, wherein the plurality of multiplexers are implemented in a least one of a hardware device, discrete logic device, or a software device, wherein the hardware device is at least one of a field-programmable gate array, or an application specific integrated circuit; and A storage device coupled to the interface and configured to store the altered data bit pattern.
