Definitions
- a media player may output moving images to a display device.
- a media player might retrieve locally stored image information or receive a stream of image information from a media server (e.g., a content provider might transmit a stream that includes high-definition image frames to a television, a set-top box, or a digital video recorder through a cable or satellite network).
- the image information is encoded to reduce the amount of data used to represent the image.
- an image might be divided into smaller image portions, such as macroblocks, so that information encoded with respect to one image portion does not need to be repeated with respect to another image portion (e.g., because neighboring image portions may frequently have similar color, brightness, and/or motion characteristics).
- information about neighboring image portions may be locally stored and accessed by a decoding engine in the media player when a particular image portion is decoded. Such an approach may require a significant amount of local storage space or be otherwise impractical.

- a Digital Video Recorder might retrieve locally stored image information, or a set-top box might receive a stream of image information from a remote device (e.g., a content provider might transmit a stream that includes high-definition image frames to the set-top box through a cable or satellite network).
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a media system 100 including a media server 110 that provides image information to a remote media player 120 through a communication network 130.
- An encoder 114 may reduce the amount of data that is used to represent image content 112 before the data is transmitted by a transmitter 116 as a stream of image information.
- information may be encoded and/or decoded in accordance with any of a number of different protocols.
- image information may be processed in connection with International Telecommunication Union- Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T) recommendation H.264 entitled “Advanced Video Coding for Generic Audiovisual Services” (2004) or the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Engineering Consortium (IEC) Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) standard entitled “Advanced Video Coding (Part 10)” (2004).
- ITU-T International Telecommunication Union- Telecommunications Standardization Sector

- a received image stream may include information (such as parameter values) associated with portions of an image, and the information associated with those portions may be stored in a memory unit 122 external to an output engine 124 or decoder. Note that information encoded with respect to one image portion might be re-used with respect to another image portion. As a result, the output engine 124 may transfer information about neighboring portions from the external memory unit 122 into a block-based local parameter buffer or cache 126. The output engine 124 may then access that information from the local buffer 126 to re-construct or decode each image portion. According to some embodiments, the local buffer 124 is formed on the same die as the output engine 124.
- a display image 200 may be divided into an array of "macroblocks" 210.
- Each macroblock might represent a 16x16 set of picture samples or pixels.
- the array may include rows, each row having, for example, one hundred and twenty macroblocks 210.
- the output engine 124 may decode macroblocks 210 from left to right across rows of macroblocks 210 beginning with the top row. When one row is completed, the output engine 124 may begin to decode the first macroblock 210 of the next row.
- information about one macroblock 210 may have been encoded using information about neighboring macroblocks (e.g., because neighboring macroblocks 210 may frequently have similar characteristics).
- information about that macroblock 210 may be derived using a predicted value from one or more neighboring blocks.
- a predicted parameter is derived from a single neighboring block's parameter while in other cases it is derived from parameters associated with multiple neighboring blocks.
- the output engine 124 may use parameter values previously determined for neighboring macroblocks A, B, C, and/or D to determine a predicted parameter value for macroblock *.
- a difference between the predicted parameter value and the actual parameter value may be received in the stream of image information, and the output engine 124 can use the predicted parameter value and this difference to generate the actual parameter value.
- the actual parameter value may then be used to generate an output representing the original image content 112 (as well as being used when determining an actual parameter value for a subsequent neighboring macroblock).
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a system 300 in which macroblock information is stored in an external memory unit 310 and a local buffer 320.
- Each square in FIG. 3 may represent, for example, a macroblock buffer containing reference data or parameters for a particular macroblock.
- at least one row's worth of macroblock information (illustrated by the shaded area of FIG. 3) may be transferred from the external memory unit 310 to the local buffer 320.
- an output engine can decode macroblock * using locally stored information associated with macroblocks A, D, B, and/or C.
- Examples of information that might be processed in this way include an x-direction motion vector, a y-direction motion vector, intra-prediction mode data, and/or a reference frame indices list.
- the output engine may begin to decode the macroblock to the right of macroblock * (and macroblock * will now become macroblock A, macroblock B will now become macroblock D, etc.).
- Such an approach may require a significant amount of on-die storage space or be otherwise impractical.
- the local memory may need to store information about 120 macroblocks along with the macroblock currently being decoded, for a total of 121 macroblocks. Assuming each macroblock is associated with 256 bits of information, the local buffer would need to store 121x 256 bits, or approximately 31 Kilobits (Kbits) of data. In some cases, it may be impractical to locally store that amount of information, such as when the output engine 124 is associated with a System on Chip (SoC) design.
- SoC System on Chip
- FIG. 4 is a flow diagram illustrating a method according to some embodiments.
- the method may be associated with, for example, media player 120 of FIG. 1.
- the flow charts described herein do not necessarily imply a fixed order to the actions, and embodiments may be performed in any order that is practicable. Note that any of the methods described herein may be performed by hardware, software (including microcode), firmware, or any combination of these approaches.
- a storage medium may store thereon instructions that when executed by a machine result in performance according to any of the embodiments described herein.
- the external memory unit might comprise, for example, a Double Data Rate (DDR) Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) unit of a media player.
- DDR Double Data Rate
- SDRAM Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory
- a set of macroblocks are then transferred at 404 from the external memory unit to a local buffer, and the set may include fewer macroblocks than a row.
- the local buffer might be, for example, an on-chip buffer associated with an output engine.
- FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a system 500 in which macroblock information is stored in an external memory unit 510 and a local buffer 520 according to some embodiments.
- the macroblock information may be associated with Picture- Adaptive Frame/Field (PAFF) H.264 coding.
- PAFF Picture- Adaptive Frame/Field
- the external memory unit 510 stores information associated with rows of moving image macroblocks.
- the local buffer 520 may be local to a decoder and may store less than one row's worth of information.
- the local buffer 520 stores parameters for: (i) the macroblock currently being decoded (*), (ii) the neighboring blocks needed to construct the current macroblock (A, B, C, and D), and (iii) four additional macroblocks.
- the current macroblock * is then decoded based on information in the local buffer at 406 to generate an image signal.
- the local buffer 520 may be, for example, a circular buffer, and a buffer manager may arrange for new information to replace old information (e.g., after the old information is no longer needed). For example, after macroblock * is decoded, macroblocks A and D will not be needed (while macroblock B will become macroblock D, macroblock * will become macroblock A, and macroblock C will become macroblock B during construction of the next macroblock). Note that when macroblock * is near the end of a row, additional macroblocks from the beginning of the next row may be stored in the local buffer 520.
- FIG. 6 is a block timing diagram 600 illustrating a pre-fetch latency according to some embodiments.
- there may be a latency between the time a pre-fetch of an additional macroblock from the external memory unit 610 is initiated and the time that the pre-fetch is completed (e.g., and the information is available in the local buffer 620).
- the actual latency of a pre-fetch might vary during operation (e.g., due to bandwidth or other issues), and a value L may be selected based on, for example, a maximum expected latency.
- the number of additional macroblocks that may be stored in the local buffer 620 may be based on L and the amount of time it takes to decode each macroblock. For example, if four macroblocks can be decoded during L, then four additional macroblocks might be stored in the local buffer 620. Thus, when a current macroblock is about to be decoded, four additional macroblocks may be present in the local memory 620. At this time, a new pre-fetch of a new macroblock may be initiated. By the time the current macroblock in the local buffer 620 is decoded, the new macroblock will be available (and another pre-fetch may be initiated). According to another embodiment, batches to macroblocks might be pre-fetched to ensure that at least an appropriate number of additional macroblocks are available in the local memory 620.
- each macroblock is al6xl6 set of picture samples (e.g., there are 120 macroblocks in each row).
- the local memory 620 may store parameters for the macroblock currently being decoded, the four neighboring macroblocks needed to construct the current macroblock, and four additional macroblocks (a total of nine macroblocks). If we again assume that each macroblock is associated with 256 bits of information, the local buffer 620 would need to store 9 x 256 bits or approximately 2.3Kbits of data (as compared to the 31Kbits described with respect to FIG. 3).
- FIG. 7 is a block diagram of a system 700 in which MBAFF coding information is stored in an external memory unit 710 and a local buffer 720 according to some embodiments.
- the dashed lines separate pairs of vertically adjacent macroblocks that may be simultaneously constructed. Note that twice as much information may be stored in the local buffer 720 as compared to a PAFF implementation ⁇ e.g., illustrated in FIG. 5).
- FIG. 8 illustrates a display 800.
- portions of the display 800 that are substantially similar ⁇ e.g., a background area) might be encoded as macroblocks 810.
- Other portions that contain more detailed image information might be further divided into macroblock partitions 820 and sub-macroblocks 830.
- the display 800 may be divided in different ways as the image changes.
- the information in a local memory may be associated with macroblocks, macroblock partitions, and/or sub-macroblocks.
- the term "macroblock" may refer to any image portion including a standard H.264 macroblock, a macroblock partition, a sub-macroblock, and/or a portion defined by another standard.
- FIG. 9 is a block diagram of a system 900 according to some embodiments.
- the system 900 might be associated with, for example, a digital display device, a television such as a High Definition Television (HDTV) unit, a DVR, a game console, a Personal Computer (PC) or laptop computer, and/or a set-top box (e.g., a cable or satellite decoder).
- a digital display device such as a High Definition Television (HDTV) unit, a DVR, a game console, a Personal Computer (PC) or laptop computer, and/or a set-top box (e.g., a cable or satellite decoder).
- HDTV High Definition Television
- DVR Digital Video Recorder
- game console a Personal Computer
- PC Personal Computer
- set-top box e.g., a cable or satellite decoder
- the system 900 includes a data storage device 910, such as a DDR SDRAM device, and a buffer 920 associated with a H.264 decoder 930 that may operate in accordance with any of the embodiments described herein.
- the data storage device 910 may store information associated with rows of moving image macroblocks.
- the buffer 920 and H.264 decoder 930 may comprise an Integrated Circuit (IC), and the buffer 920 may store information received from the data storage device 910 for a group of macroblocks, the group including fewer macroblocks than a row.
- the H.264 decoder 930 may the generate an image signal in accordance with the information in the buffer 920 (including parameters associated with neighboring macroblocks).
- the output H.264 decoder 930 generates information that is provided to a display device (not illustrated in FIG. 9) via a digital output 940.
- the system 900 might further include an input interface (not illustrated in FIG. 9) to receive a signal associated with at least one of: (i) H.264 information, (ii) MPEG2 information, or (iii) MPEG4 information.
- image processing protocols and networks have been used herein as examples (e.g., H.264 and MPEG4), embodiments may be used in connection any other type of image processing protocols or networks, such as Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting (DTTB) and Community Access Television (CATV) systems.
