Video Compression and Decompression

               A  video  compression  and  decompression  processor  is  used  to  compress  and
               decompress video  data. The  video  compression  and decompression processor

               contains multiple stages for compression and decompression. The stages include
               forward  discrete  cosine  transformation  and  inverse  discrete  cosine
               transformation,  quantization  and  inverse  quantization,  ZigZag  and  Zero  run-
               length encoding and decoding, and motion estimation and compensation.


               Audio Compression: MPEG-2 uses adaptive pulse code modulation (ADPCM)
               to sample the audio signal. The method takes a difference between the actual

               sample value and predicted sample value. The difference is then encoded by a 4-
               bit value or 8-bit value depending upon the sample rate.


               Analog to Digital Converter: The ADC takes inputs from the video switch and
               converts the amplitude of a sampled analog signal to either an 8-bit or 16-bit
               digital value.
