Abstract

The emergence of the Reconfigurable Video Coding (RVC) Standard has led to the development of its accompanying decoding Video Tool Library (VTL). This library is comprised of a set of video coding tool also referred to as Functional Units (FUs) that are combined to form the different video decoders. This paper introduces a set of FUs that represent potential contributors to the RVC Encoding Toolbox corresponding to the AVC baseline profile entropy coding modules. The modules are implemented using RVC-CAL, and has been synthesized into hardware targeting the Virtex 5 FPGA. A novel memory model for the Look Up Tables (LUTs) is also introduced and introduces up to 31.5% of savings in the space required to store them. The results being compared to other implementations from the literature show substantial improvement to traditional implementation approaches using C/C++ or VHDL conclude the paper.
