Abstract

In this paper, we implemented the MAC-based RTL module for inverse DCT in H.264/AVC to improve applicability, to reduce processing time and utilize resources. The paper highlights design of FU architecture, its interconnection topology, regular formula of inverse DCT and array processor mapping as well as MAC-based RTL module constructing. Multi-directional FUA and FPGA were presented along with an evaluated performance and simulation result. Hence, the paper encompasses design of single FU that was verified with the performance test at maximum frequency 200 MHz; the designed 4-by-4 FUA operates over 100 MHz. The proposed multi-directional FU can be extended to n-by-n FUA that functionality can be extended to next video coding standard (H.265/HEVC).
