Abstract
A video encoder includes a frame synchronizer to temporarily store video data supplied from an exterior in a plurality of memory banks repeatedly selected in a predetermined sequence and to read the video data successively from the plurality of memory banks repeatedly selected in said predetermined sequence, an encode unit to encode the video data read by the frame synchronizer, and a control unit to perform a bank switch process that swaps one memory bank among the plurality of memory banks for another memory bank separate from the plurality of memory banks.
