Abstract:
1. A multi-processor comprising: a first control unit which stores first compressed data in a first memory, wherein the first compressed data was received from an external device; a decoding unit configured to access first compressed data stored in a first memory, generate decoded data by decoding the first compressed data stored in the first memory and stores the generated decoded data in a second memory; an editing processor element including at least one processor element configured to generates edited data by processing the decoded data to change the number of pixels or resolution of the decoded data stored in the second memory, wherein the processing is accomplished using editing software stored in a third memory; an encoding processor element including at least one processor element configured to encode the edited data generated by the editing processor element to generate second compressed data and store the second compressed data in a fifth memory, wherein the encoding is accomplished using encoding software stored in a fourth memory; and a second control unit which outputs the second compressed data stored in the fifth memory to the external device from which the first compressed data was received or another external device.
