Conversion between raster and coded formats

Abstract:

Disclosed approaches for converting between block coded format and raster format include buffers for first type component blocks and second type component blocks of a frame. The buffers are sized less than the width of the frame. A demultiplexer circuit is configured to input the first type component blocks and the second type component blocks in coded block order, and enable storage of the first type component blocks in the first buffer and of the second type component blocks in the second buffer in the coded block order. A multiplexer circuit is configured to flush data from the first buffer in raster scan order in response to a completed set of the first type component blocks in the first buffer, and flush data from the second buffer in raster scan order in response to a completed set of the second type component blocks in the second buffer.
