Abstract
When a macro block synchronizing signal indicating starting of processing is asserted in processing of one processing section which is formed by a macro block header and a macro block, block data of the macro block are decoded in synchronization with the assertion of MBSYNC, and next macro block header information is analyzed in continuation in the processing section. The assertion of the next MB synchronizing signal is stopped until prescribed conditions are established. Processing of the block data of the macro blocks is regularly executed from starting of one processing section, whereby utilization efficiency of operational processors is improved.
