In summary, the Microchip SAM9M10 hardware video decoder embeds a decoder and a post processor engine. The post processor engine can function in two modes: pipelined, where it is combined with the hardware decoder to process the video or image from the decoder; and the stand-alone mode to process video that does not require a decoder. Several major graphical acceleration features are embedded in the post processor engine, enabling video and image processing in hardware rather than using software resources.
