Abstract

A system and method are provided for encoding and compressing video data. A memory device is configured to store video data, and a corresponding memory controller controls the storage of video data in the memory device. A frame buffer compression module compresses frame data received from a video module to be stored in the memory device according to the memory controller and decompresses compressed frame data received from the memory device according to the memory controller for use by a video module. The frame buffer compression module includes a frame buffer compression encoder configured to encode and compress frame data received from a video module for storage in memory according to the memory controller. The frame buffer also includes a corresponding frame buffer compression decoder configured to decode and decompress frame data received from memory according to the memory controller for use by a video module.
