Abstract:
1. In a multimedia processing device, a method comprising: at a first time, processing first video information at a first video processing module of an instruction pipeline to determine first processed video information; storing the first processed video information at a first first-in first-out (FIFO) buffer, selected from a plurality of FIFOs, in response to identifying that the first video information is associated with a first codec; retrieving the first processed video information from the first FIFO buffer for processing at a second video processing module of the instruction pipeline in response to identifying that the first video information is encoded according to the first codec; at a second time, processing second video information at the first video processing module to determine second processed video information; and storing the second processed video information at a second FIFO buffer selected from the plurality of FIFOs, in response to identifying that the second video information is associated with a second codec, the first codec different from the second codec and the second FIFO buffer different from the first FIFO buffer.
