Abstract
A memory access system and method for efficiently utilizing memory bandwidth is disclosed. A data arrangement unit arranges video data into at least a primary block and a supplemental block, which are then stored in a memory device. The video data are arranged such that the video data of the primary block stored in the memory device can be sequentially read by a device, thereby increasing efficiency in memory bandwidth usage and memory data access.
