On Hardware Implementations Of DCT and Quantization Blocks for H.264/AVC

H.264/AVC also known as MPEG 4 part 10 or JVT, is a recently established video coding standard by the Joint Video Team (JVT) of the ISO/IEC MPEG and ITU-T VCEG. The main goal of the paper is to give a broader understanding of the design considerations for the transform and quantization blocks from H.264/AVC, by presenting area and speed optimized implementations of these blocks. The area optimized design can be used in low performance …
