encoder/decoder - bitstream vs frame

Guru 20755 points

Hello,

Does decoder accept slices of frames to decode or must it receive only full frames ?

What about the encoder ? Does it accept also slices of frames to encode ?

Thank you,

Ran

  • Hi Ran,

        Yes, Decoder do accept slice of frame and start decoding, if this feature is supported.

    Similar is true for encoder also.

  • Hi Ran,

                Both Encoder and Decoder supports the encoding/decoding of partial frames. For more information you can go through the user guide.

    For Encoder - Appendix G

    For Decoder - Appendix I

  • Hi Kuladeepak,

    In the terms "slice" I mean any some piece of the packet (like pakets in network stream for the video), not the common "Slice" definition.
    Is this supported ? What did you mean by "if this feature is supported". Do you mean that encoder/decoder need to know that it is only peice of packet and not a complete frame ?
    I also see Gajanan answer and it seems to answer the question.
    I will now go over the datasheet you've mentioned.
    If I may, I would like to ask one more: Is the timestamp/timing info any relevant to decoder/encoder process, i.e. does encoder need to know the time of frame ?

    Thank you a lot!

  • Hi Ran,

                         Timestamp/Timing info is not relevant to encoder/decoder.
