Abstract

A video processing apparatus includes a storage interface, where information and hardware of a motion estimation module and a motion compensation module are shared between frame rate conversion and video coding operations. The video processing apparatus therefore may perform both the frame rate conversion and video coding operations at the same time or perform them by turns, while requiring fewer resources and a smaller chip area than conventional methods.
