Abstract
Multiprocessor decoding is accomplished in a first mode by generating with a series of n processors, from a set of data macroblocks, the entropy decoding output of each data macroblock and storing the entropy decoding output of each data macroblock in n storage elements, respectively, associated with the processors and in the second mode decoding the macroblock data from its associated storage element in response to the macroblock entropy decoding output from its associated storage element stored in an nth previous period, predetermined data from one or more adjacent macroblocks, and data produced from a previous processor in the series.
