Abstract

A memory compression and expansion section (of FIG.) applies compression to a decoded image, and the result is stored in a frame memory. Based on an occupied content of the frame memory (FIG.), in case that the number of coded bits for a single or a plurality of memory compression processing blocks or for every control unit of memory compression processing exceeds the number of bits of a memory access unit or is lacking, a memory access width control section (of FIG.) applies control to a quantizer control section (of FIG.) so that the number of coded bits is conformed to be equal to or less than the number of bits of memory access unit.
