A METHOD AND SYSTEM ON CHIP (SOC) FOR ADAPTING A RUNTIME RECONFIGURABLE HARDWARE TO DECODE A VIDEO STREAM

摘要

A method and System on Chip (SoC) for adapting a runtime reconfigurable hardware to decode a video stream, wherein the video stream is of one of a plurality of video types is disclosed. The method includes determining a video type of the video stream and identifying at least one functional block (102, 104, 106) of a set of functional blocks (102, 104, 106) in the runtime reconfigurable hardware in response to determining the video type. A functional block (102, 104, 106) of the set of functional blocks (102, 104, 106) corresponds to a decoding sub function of the video type. Thereafter, the method configures the one or more functional block (102, 104, 106) based on a plurality of configuration parameters of the video type. Further, the method decodes the video stream using the one or more functional blocks (102, 104, 106) in response of configuring the one or more functional block (102, 104, 106).
