Abstract

This paper proposes a memory-based architecture implementing the MPEG2 System protocol LSIs, and demonstrates its flexibility and performance. The memory-based architecture implements the full functionality of the MPEG2 System protocol for both multiplexing and de-multiplexing MPEG2-encoded streams. It consists of a core CPU, memories, and dedicated application-specific hardware. It is designed and optimized by hardware/software co-design techniques. The LSIs provide sufficient performance and flexibility for real-time applications of the MPEG2 System protocol.
