Abstract:
1. A picture terminal, comprising: a first core part that encodes a moving picture at a first quantizing value corresponding to a first display resolution and encodes a frame unit still picture with a corresponding second higher resolution; a VLC that encodes data encoded at the first core part in lengths different from each other; and an output unit that selectively outputs an encoded bitstream of output data of the VLC, wherein the frame unit still picture is extracted from the moving picture using a fixed second lower quantizing value and wherein the output unit comprises: a first channel buffer that buffers an encoded bitstream of the moving picture among the output data from the VLC; a first memory that stores an encoded bitstream of the still picture among the output data from the VLC in response to a first control signal; and a first multiplexer that selects and forwards one of the encoded bitstream of the moving picture from the first channel buffer and the encoded bitstream of the still picture from the first memory.
