A highly parallel and scalable CABAC decoder for next generation video coding.

Future video decoders will need to support high resolutions such as Quad Full HD (QFHD, 4096 × 2160) and fast frame rates (e.g., 120 fps). Many of these decoders will also reside in portable devices. Parallel processing can be used to increase the throughput for higher performance (i.e., processing speed), which can be traded-off for lower power with voltage scaling. The next generation standard c...
