Abstract

In one embodiment, this disclosure provides an encoding device comprising a mode selection engine that performs mode selection for intra-prediction encoding regardless of whether the encoding device is programmed to comply with first encoding standard or a second encoding standard. The device also includes a first encoder to perform the intra-prediction encoding according to the selected mode in compliance with the first encoding standard when the encoding device is programmed to comply with the first encoding standard, and a second encoder to perform the intra-prediction encoding according to the selected mode in compliance with the second encoding standard when the encoding device is programmed to comply with the second encoding standard. The techniques can simplify mode selection in support of multiple different intra-prediction encoding standards.
