An audio processing device includes an initial processing module to generate a stream of frequency coefficients based on input audio data, a watermarking module to embed a digital watermark into the stream of frequency coefficients to generate a modified stream of frequency coefficients, and a final processing module to process the modified stream of frequency coefficients to generate output audio data. In some implementations, the input audio data comprises unencoded audio data, the initial processing module comprises a frequency domain transform module to perform a time-to-frequency domain transform to generate the unencoded audio data, and the output audio data is encoded audio data. In other instances, the input audio data comprises encoded audio data, the initial processing module comprises an initial decoding module to partially decode the encoded audio data to generate the stream of frequency coefficients, and the output audio data is decoded audio data.

Watermark insertion in frequency domain for audio encoding/decoding/transcoding

A video processing device includes a video processing unit that decodes a video input signal into a decoded video signal in accordance with a video compression protocol, based on uncompressed video frame data. A data object compression/decompression module generates compressed video frame data by compressing a plurality of video data objects into a plurality of compressed video data objects, storing the plurality of compressed video data objects in a compressed frame buffer. The data object compression/decompression module retrieves a selected portion of video frame data from the compressed video frame buffer by identifying selected ones of plurality of compressed video data objects that correspond to the selected portion of video frame data, retrieving the selected ones of the plurality of compressed video data objects and generating the uncompressed video frame data by decompressing the selected ones of the plurality of compressed video data objects.

Video processor with random access to compressed frame buffer and methods for use therewith

A video processing device includes a video processing unit that decodes a video input signal into a decoded video signal in accordance with a video compression protocol, based on uncompressed video frame data. A tile engine includes a tile accumulation module that accumulates the uncompressed video frame data into a plurality of tile units, wherein each of the plurality of tile units includes a plurality of video span units. A tile compression/decompression module generates compressed video frame data for storage in a compressed video frame buffer by compressing the plurality of video span units into a plurality of compressed video span units and further that retrieves the compressed video frame data from the compressed video frame buffer by retrieving the plurality of compressed video span units and generating the uncompressed video frame data by decompressing the plurality of compressed video span units.

Video processor with reduced memory bandwidth and methods for use therewith

A video processing device includes a video processing unit that decodes a video input signal into a decoded video signal in accordance with a video compression protocol, based on uncompressed video frame data. A data object compression/decompression module generates compressed video frame data for storage in a compressed video frame buffer by compressing a plurality of video data objects into a plurality of compressed video data objects, wherein a first subset of the plurality of video data objects are compressed via lossless compression and a second subset of the plurality of video data objects are compressed via lossy compression.
