| | Building an Ogg Theora camera using an FPGA and embedded Linux |
 | | Theora is an advanced video codec that competes with MPEG-4 and other low bit-rate video compression technologies. |
 | | In the Theora format, quantized DCT components are globally reordered before being sent out -- first, go all the DC components (average values of 8x8 blocks); then, both luma (Y) and chroma (Cb and Cr); then, all the rest, the AC components (from lower to higher spatial frequencies), each in the same order. |
 | | And, as the 8x8 DCT processes data in 64 pixel blocks, yielding all 64 coefficients (DC and 63 AC) together, the whole frame of coefficient data has to be stored before reaching the compressor output. |
