摘要： A method and apparatus for improved motion vector selection in the motion estimator stage of a video encoder such as an MPEG coder are provided. From a received (re-ordered) image frame sequence, a first stage (14) of the estimator generates a set of candidate motion vectors, suitably from a list of half-pixel candidates from about each of N candidate integer pixels. Those candidate vectors, together with an indication of their respective accuracies, are passed to a vector selection stage (16). A vector bit counter (18) determines the number of bits required per vector and the selection stage (16) then selects those of the candidate vectors for a macroblock line (or "slice") which minimise a cumulative cost function for the line and provide the best trade-off between motion vector accuracy and required bit rate for each block of the line. The derivation of the cumulative cost function and its application to coding mode selection is described.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided to enable variable speed forwards or reverse play of motion-prediction coded sequences of video signal frames. Successive images of a sequence are MPEG encoded with some images of the sequence becoming I-frames and the remainder P- or B-frames. The frame data is formatted to sequences of fixed size data blocks (I,P,B) to form a data block stream into which further, information blocks (i) are inserted at periodic intervals. Each information block (i) carriers a pointer to the relative location in the data block stream of the first data block of the immediately preceding I-frame.

摘要： In an image source for multimedia applications such as networked computer games, a graphics engine (16) generates pixel images one line at a time using a scan-line algorithm and supplies the generated scan lines to an encoder (18) where they are buffered. The encoder codes the buffered pixel data as macroblocks of, for example 16.times.16 pixels according to MPEG or similar standards. When the graphics engine has sent sufficient scan lines for a first macroblock to the encoder, it sends a signal (FLAG) on receipt of which the encoder begins coding the pixel data as a macroblock in a line of macroblocks whilst continuing to receive scan lines from the graphics engine (16). To increase encoder efficiency, the graphics engine specifies to the encoder global (GMV) and macroblock (BMV) motion vectors for substantially all or selected ones of the macroblocks of an image respectively. Completed coded macroblock lines may be sent to a remote user over a data network, with user commands for modifing the composition of subsequent image frames being received on a back-channel (26) of the network.

摘要： Broadcast data received in MPEG Transport Stream format (TS) is processed (8) to produce a modified transport stream for recording on an optical disc (3) to record the content of a selected audio-visual program. Various techniques are disclosed for permitting random access within the recording, but without re-packetizing or remultiplexing the audio and video elementary streams, for example into program stream format. The received TS (DVIN) occasionally includes stream mapping information (PAT/PMT) identifying a transport packet ID code associated with each elementary stream, said stream mapping information being subject to change throughout the received TS. The packet IDs in the modified transport stream can be re-mapped to a uniform set of values to permit random entry to the recorded stream. Alternatively, the current stream mapping information may be inserted at every potential entry point in the modified stream. Characteristic point information (CPI) defining a set of potential entry points throughout the stream is generated by parsing the received stream, and recorded in a separate file to facilitate location of entry points on the disk. Entry points may for example comprise all I-pictures, or a subset of them. Clock reference values (PCR) not carried in one of the wanted streams are inserted in the modified transport stream using a separate packet ID. The recorded stream can be passed to a standard decoder with little or no further modification.

摘要： In a DSM-CC receiver (12), a signal comprising a periodically repeated plurality of data sections is received. Storage means (14) is provided for caching the data sections included in the signal, and said storage means incorporates a file management mechanism based on file names. Each data section is received (100) under a corresponding file name, and the received file names are modified (140) within the receiver to distinguish between previous or subsequent versions of the same data sections of the signal that are stored in said storage means. Files currently in use are not overwritten, but are marked (135) for later deletion (155). Individual files can be extracted from DSM-CC modules and cache. In this case, individual file names are modified by reference to version information received for the module as a whole.

摘要： In a DSM-CC receiver (12), a signal comprising a periodically repeated plurality of data sections is received. Storage means (14) are provided for catching the data sections included in the signal (13) where the act of accessing a data section results in a reference being created, this reference being removed when no longer being accessed. A reference count is kept for each data section such that a data section is marked for deletion if its reference count falls to zero. There is a further aspect where the storage means (14) are defragmented by noting the data sections that are being referenced and then, in any order, compacting these referenced data sections by relocating them together in one part of the storage means (14) and updating the values of pointers that referred to the moved cells.

摘要： In the encoding of a frame (P3) in a digitised motion picture sequence, the frame is divided into blocks (A) of pixels and a motion vector (VA) found to predicts the contents of each block A from a block (A') in a previous frame (I0). Rather than evaluate many thousands of candidate vectors to find the best motion vector (VA), relatively few candidate vectors are evaluated, based on starting vector which is the estimated motion vector for a neighbouring block (LB(A)) in the same frame. To allow parallel processing of several pixel blocks, all the blocks of one row in the current frame are assigned to one processor (DSP), and a starting vector is obtained from a block (LB(A)) previously processed by the same processor. Further starting vectors are obtained if desired from neighbouring blocks (UR(B),DR(B)) in neighbouring frames of the sequence. The candidate vectors based on a starting vector may be very few in number, or may fill an area a few percent of the full search area. The method may favor candidate vectors which are more economical to encode.

摘要： A digital video recorder or similar apparatus implements a method of converting an input data stream having an MPEG-2 Program Stream (PS) format into an output data stream having an MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) format. The input data stream (PS) includes data of at least first and second elementary data streams (404, 406) formed and multiplexed in compliance with a PS decoder model. A scheduler (412) within the apparatus inhibits reading of a further data block from the input stream when, in the absence of a vacancy for data of an audio elementary stream within a target decoder model (418), a clock reference (SCR) of said input data stream advances beyond a clock reference of said output data stream by a predetermined waiting threshold.
