Abstract
A decoding-processing apparatus that decodes bitstreams using an intermediate format. The apparatus includes a context-calculating unit () calculating the probability of symbols contained in incoming bitstreams, a parameter-generating unit () generating parameters for use in the context-calculating unit (), and an arithmetic decoding-calculating unit () decoding the incoming bitstreams in accordance with the probability, thereby providing decoded data. The apparatus also includes a stream-converting unit () converting the decoded data into intermediate bitstreams, a storage unit () storing the intermediate bitstreams, a synchronization-detecting unit () detecting calculation start timing from the intermediate bitstreams fed out of the storage unit (), thereby providing detected calculation start timing, and a multivalued calculating unit () permitting the intermediate bitstreams fed out of the storage unit () to be multivalued in synchronism with the detected calculation start timing from the synchronization-detecting unit ().
