(57) [Summary] (Modified) [PROBLEMS] To provide a data processing system having a plurality of processing stages and functioning to decode and / or decompress different coded input signals, to flexibly configure the processing stages and perform processing. Improve the performance. SOLUTION: The apparatus has a plurality of processing stages including an input processing stage for receiving an input information stream including encoded data, and an output processing stage for generating an output information stream, wherein the input processing stage includes a plurality of processing stages. Generate one or more variable length or fixed length tokens for control or data functions, the control information contained in the token identifies an industry standard corresponding to the encoded data, and the token containing the control information is A data processing system that reconfigures at least one of the processing stages to decode the encoded data contained in at least one of the variable length token or the fixed length token according to the identified industry standard. |
