Abstract
Simultaneously decoding one or more variable length code symbols including storing in a bit FIFO at least a portion of a variable length coded bit stream; storing a succession of extracted bit fields of predetermined bit length from the variable length coded bit stream in the bit FIFO; defining at least one inspection field in the extracted bit field, each inspection field identifying at least one variable length code symbol; and storing in look-up table a decode value uniquely addressable by each bit combination of the inspection field for reading out the one or more decode values corresponding to the unique address defined by the inspection field.
