Abstract:
1. An inverse quantizer apparatus for processing macroblocks of data, the apparatus having modular operation elements that can be invoked via associated inverse quantizer commands in order to accommodate different coding standards, the apparatus comprising: a memory area having an input buffer interface and an output buffer interface, for storing command data, macroblock header data, and associated block coding data; a run level decoder device; an inverse scan pattern device; a reorder RAM device; and an inverse quantizer command and macroblock header decoder device configured to receive the command data, macroblock header data, and associated block coding data from the memory area, the inverse quantizer command and macroblock header decoder device further configured to decode the command data, the macroblock header data, and the associated block coding data, and transmit decoded parameters and control information to the run level decoder device, the inverse scan pattern device, and the reorder RAM device.
