Abstract:
Systems and methods are described for processing data from a sequential series of groups of frames to achieve a target average processing bit rate for a particular group of frames in the series. In an example, a look-ahead buffer circuit can be populated with a number of frames from a particular group of frames, and a bit allocation can be determined for a frame in the look-ahead buffer circuit using bit request information about all of the frames in the buffer. The look-ahead buffer circuit can be populated with streaming frame information in a first-in-first-out manner, and bit allocation processing can be performed for each frame, in a particular group of frames, based on a frame position in the look-ahead buffer circuit and further based on bit requests associated with other frames in the look-ahead buffer circuit.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n before encoding the last frame F 1 D1\u22121  from the first group of frames F 1 :\n populating a portion of a second look-ahead processing buffer with frames from a second group of frames F 2 , including receiving at least frame F 2 0 ; \n following determining the subsequent bit allocation for the last frame F 1 D1\u22121  from the first group of frames F 1 :\n filling the second look-ahead processing buffer with at least one additional frame of the second group of frames F 2 , the received frames including B 2  frames F 2 0  through F 2 B2\u22121 , wherein B 2  is greater than 1; and \n determining, using the processor circuit, a bit allocation for the frame F 2 0  based on one or more bit allocation requests corresponding to the received B 2  frames in the second look-ahead processing buffer; \n receiving, in the second look-ahead processing buffer, a last frame F 2 D2\u22121  of the second group of frames F 2  to be encoded, and expunging frames other than the last frame F 2 D2\u22121  from the second look-ahead processing buffer; and determining, using the processor circuit, a bit allocation for the last frame F 2 D2\u22121  based on fewer than B 2  bit allocation requests.
