  • Abstract
    This paper describes an economical and flexible video codec cell supporting MPEG-2 and related algorithms in consumer applications such as DVD recorders and PVR. It is based on a general-purpose VLIW processor with hardware acceleration for selected tasks. The same architecture can support mixed audio/video encode and decode.
