Abstract:
An apparatus for generating compressed data comprising:compression and encoding means for compressing and encoding input data; output means for outputting the compressed data from the compression and encoding means; data transfer means for transferring the compressed data from the compression and encoding means to the output means, the data transfer means including: first accumulation means for provisionally storing the compressed data from the compression and encoding means; second accumulation means for provisionally storing the compressed data from the first accumulation means, the second accumulation means including a plurality of storage means, each of the storage means including at least an input buffer and an output buffer each of said respective output buffers being enabled if the corresponding storage means becomes full; and a data interface for transferring the compressed data from the first accumulation means to the second accumulation means; and control means connected to the compression and encoding means through a control bus for controlling a data transfer of the compressed data from the compression and encoding means to the data transfer means based on control information from the control bus.
