Abstract: PURPOSE: To release compression and to display a video picture with compressed movement on a real time basis by providing a plurality of calculation modules connected in parallel and processing video data for compression/compression release. CONSTITUTION: The calculation modules 401-404 of an architecture 400 have processors, dual port memories, scratch pad memories and arbitration mechanisms. A first bus 412 connects the calculation modules with a host processor 410. The processor 410 is connected to a computer system having a display device 428, a memory and other peripheral equipments. The first bus 412 is a control bus operating at relatively slow speed. A device is provided with a common memory 405 connected to the processor 410 and the modules 401-404 by a second bus 420. The bus 420 is known as a video bus and it operates at considerably faster speed than the control bus.
