Abstract:Because the original codec is slow and time-consuming, it can't meet the needs of people. A design of HDTV codec based on ARM platform is proposed. Separation of the interface in the ARM platform, streamline the encoder from two aspects of code and structure, and the corresponding program is optimized; for the decoder optimization process, the optimization of C level and entropy decoding, and remove the redundant structure and redundant function, re establishment of Huffman table, complete HD video signal fast decoding. The experimental results show that the optimized codec has a fast speed and a shorter time consuming.
