VIDEO CODING WITH TRADE-OFF BETWEEN FRAME RATE AND CHROMA FIDELITY
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a compressed input video stream having a first display resolution and encoded in a first format employing a first combination of frame rate and chroma fidelity; and
decompressing the compressed input video stream to generate an output video stream having a second format, the second format having the first display resolution and a different second combination of frame rate and chroma fidelity.

Abstract
A video decoder or encoder can be used to convert and process different video streams having different combinations of frame rate and Chroma fidelity. Rather than setting the maximum sample rate of the encoder based on a Luma sample rate, the encoder'"'"'s throughput is set based on a maximum color sample rate. Additionally, the picture buffer size can be set based on a maximum number of color pictures. An input of the video decoder receives an input video stream having a given display resolution and encoded in a first format employing a first combination of frame rate and Chroma fidelity. Processing circuitry in the decoder converts the input video stream from the first format to an output video stream having a second format, the second format having the given display resolution and employing a second combination of frame rate and Chroma fidelity different from the first combination.

10. A video decoder comprising:
-
an input configured to receive a compressed input video stream having a display resolution and encoded in a first format employing a first combination of frame rate and chroma fidelity; and a processor and associated memory configured to decompress the compressed input video stream to generate an output video stream having a second format, the second format having the same display resolution, but a different combination of frame rate and chroma fidelity.

16. A video decoder comprising:
-
an input configured to receive a compressed input video stream having a display resolution and encoded in a first format employing a first combination of frame rate and Chroma fidelity; and processing circuitry configured to decompress the compressed input video stream to generate an output video stream having a second format, the second format having the same display resolution, but a different combination of frame rate and chroma fidelity, the processing circuitry including; an entropy decoder coupled to the input and configured to generate quantized transform coefficients, intra prediction modes, motion data, and filter parameters; a reconstruction circuit configured to generate currently reconstructed pictures by summing residual blocks and at least one of intra prediction blocks, inter prediction blocks, or motion-compensated prediction blocks; and a picture buffer configured to store reference pictures and the currently reconstructed pictures during video decoding, and having a maximum capacity determined by a maximum number of color pictures. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
