Abstract
A video device includes a codec engine to process video data to generate a stream of pixel blocks representing a picture of a sequence of pictures represented by the video data, an image processing module to receive the stream of pixel blocks via a local path between the codec engine and the image processing module and to perform at least one image processing function for the picture using pixel blocks of the stream of pixel blocks received via the local path to generate image processing result data representative of the picture. The video device further includes a storage interface coupleable to a storage component, the storage interface to provide the image processing result data for storage at the storage component.
