Abstract
In various embodiments, video streams are decoded using decoders that support a different decoding profile. First processing circuitry is configured to receive a video stream encoded using a first encoding profile, transcode the video stream from the first encoding profile to a second encoding profile, and store the transcoded video stream in an output buffer. Second processing circuitry is configured to receive the transcoded video stream from the output buffer and decode the transcoded video stream according to the second encoding profile. The second processing circuitry may be unable to decode the video stream encoded using the first encoding profile.
