Abstract:
1. An apparatus for temporary storage of high resolution image-encoding data, comprising: an image sensing unit for creating a plurality of frame data in successive order, wherein each frame data is composed of a plurality of macroblock row data; a storage unit comprising at least two storage portions, the storage unit receiving from the image sensor unit the individual macroblock row data and writing the macroblock row data into one of the storage portions, wherein the smallest capacity of the storage unit is equal to two macroblock row data and each of the storage portions have storage capacities proportional to a positive integral multiple of the size of the macroblock row data; and an encoding unit for reading and encoding the written macroblock row data from one of the storage portions of the storage unit on a one-macroblock row data basis as the storage unit simultaneously continuously receiving from the image sensing unit another macroblock row data and writing the received macroblock row data into another one of the storage portions of the storage unit, wherein the speed for the encoding unit to read and encode the macroblock row data from the storage unit is no smaller than the speed for the storage unit to write in the macroblock row data.
