Abstract
A system for processing compressed data corresponding to pictures includes a decoding mechanism, providing a picture memory with decoded picture data. The decoding mechanism requires, for decoding a current block of a previously decoded picture. A plurality of decoders are associated with respective picture memories, each storing a specific slice of corresponding blocks of a plurality of pictures, as well as at least one margin which is liable to be a predictor block serving to decode a block of the specific slice.
