摘要
After many years of intensive deliberation, an international low bit-rate video coding standard, known as CCITT (International Telegraph and Telephone Consulative Committee) Recommendation H.261, has been recently completed. The H.261 covers a wide range of bit rates at p x 64 kbs, where p = 1, 2, ... , 30. A great deal of real-time signal processing power is required to compress an NTSC or other similar video signals to these rates for transport and to reconstruct the original signal back for display. In order to demonstrate the video quality of the newly established standard and the feasibility of a cost-effective VLSI solution, a real-time video codec based on H.261 has been constructed using ASIC's (Application Specific Integrated Circuits). In this paper, a single-board research prototype consisting of I I ASIC's with an aggregate signal processing power of approximately two billion operations per second will be presented.
