Abstract:
1. A method of processing image data, comprising: receiving a video data signal embedded with a plurality of pixel representations where each pixel is represented by one or more digitized components, each digitized component being represented by a first set of binary digits embedded in the video data signal and a second set of binary digits embedded in the video data signal, wherein the first set of binary digits provides a first representation of a pixel value at a first bit level of precision and the second set of binary digits in combination with the first set of binary digits provides a second representation of the same pixel value at a second bit level of precision that is different than the first bit level of precision; storing the first set of binary digits associated with a first component in a first memory plane; storing the second set of binary digits associated with a second component in a second memory plane; extracting the first set of binary digits and performing first and second processing on the first set of binary digits; and extracting the second set of binary digits and performing second processing on the second set of binary digits.
