application. The sub-band coding architecture of the ADV601
provides a number of options to stretch compression perfor-
mance. These options are outlined on in the Applying the
ADV601 section.
The DSP serial port interface (SPORT) enables performance of
Bin Width calculations on a DSP instead of the host. The ADV601
transfers current video field statistics to the DSP and receives Bin
Width data from the DSP as packet I/O through the DSP Inter-
face. A generic fixed-point DSP (i.e., the ADSP-2105 low cost,
fixed-point DSP) is more than adequate for these calculations.
INTERNAL ARCHITECTURE
The ADV601 is composed of nine blocks. Four of these blocks
are interface blocks and five are processing blocks. The interface
blocks are the Digital Video I/O Port, the Host I/O Port, exter-
nal DRAM manager, and the DSP serial I/O Port. The process-
ing blocks are the Wavelet Kernel, the On-Chip Transform
Buffer, the Programmable Quantizer, the Run Length Coder,
and the Huffman Coder.
Digital Video I/O Port
Provides a real-time uncompressed video interface to support a
broad range of component digital video formats, including “D1.”
Host I/O Port and FIFO
Carries control, status, and compressed video to and from the
host processor. A 512 position by 32-bit FIFO buffers the com-
pressed video stream between the host and the Huffman Coder.
DRAM Manager
Performs all tasks related to writing, reading, and refreshing the
external DRAM. The external host buffer DRAM is used for
reordering and buffering quantizer input and output values.
Serial Port (to Optional DSP)
Supports, during encode only, communication of wavelet statis-
tics between the Wavelet Kernel and the DSP and quantizer
control information between the DSP and the Quantizer block.
The user programmed compression ratio is also sent from the
ADV601 host interface to the DSP automatically. Note that a
host processor can be used to replace the DSP functionality in
computer applications.
Wavelet Kernel (Filters, Decimator, and Interpolator)
Gathers statistics on a per field basis and includes a block of
filters, interpolators, and decimators. The kernel calculates
forward and backward bi-orthogonal, two-dimensional, sepa-
rable wavelet transforms on horizontal scanned video data. This
block uses the internal transform buffer when performing wave-
let transforms calculated on an entire image’s data and so
eliminates any need for extremely fast external memories in
an ADV601-based design.
On-Chip Transform Buffer
Provides an internal set of SRAM for use by the wavelet trans-
form kernel. Its function is to provide enough delay line storage
to support calculation of separable two dimensional wavelet
transforms for horizontally scanned images.
Programmable Quantizer
Quantizes wavelet coefficients. Quantize controls are calculated
by the external DSP or host processor during encode operations
–3–
and de-quantize controls are extracted from the compressed bit
stream during decode. Each quantizer Bin Width is computed
by the BW calculator software to maintain a constant com-
pressed bit rate or constant quality bit rate. A Bin Width is a per
block parameter the quantizer uses when determining the num-
ber of bits to allocate to each block (sub-band).
Run Length Coder
Performs run length coding on zero data and models nonzero
data, encoding or decoding for more efficient Huffman coding.
This data coding is optimized across the sub-bands and varies
depending on the block being coded.
Huffman Coder
Performs Huffman coder and decoder functions on quantized
run-length coded coefficient values. The Huffman coder/de-
coder uses three ROM-coded Huffman tables that provide ex-
cellent performance for wavelet transformed video.
GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADV601 processor’s compression algorithm is based on the
bi-orthogonal (7, 9) wavelet transform, and implements field
independent sub-band coding. Sub-band coders transform two-
dimensional spatial video data into spatial frequency filtered
sub-bands. The quantization and entropy encoding processes
provide the ADV601’s data compression.
The wavelet theory, on which the ADV601 is based, is a new
mathematical apparatus first explicitly introduced by Morlet and
Grossman in their works on geophysics during the mid 80s.
This theory became very popular in theoretical physics and
applied math. The late 80s and 90s have seen a dramatic growth
in wavelet applications such as signal and image processing. For
more on wavelet theory by Morlet and Grossman, see Decompo-
sition of Hardy Functions into Square Integrable Wavelets of Con-
stant Shape (journal citation listed in References section).
