Abstract

In the paper the authors present an implementation of the algorithm of DV Decoder conformant to IEC-61834-2 standard in reprogrammable resources . A software implementation has been realized and then transferred to the Handel-C language. By parallelization of the algorithm and using language mechanisms in Handel-C the processing efficiency has been increased 10 times with respect to the initial hardware implementation. The implementation has been verified in hardware-software environment with real data transmitted on-line from a DV camcorder.
