A major challenge in the design of any real time system is the proper selection of implementation and platform alternatives. In this paper, a suitable FPGA-based design of the H.264 decoder is presented. Since H.264 standard only specifies the syntax and semantics of the video stream and not the video codec itself, the selection process may be directed based upon the temporal complexity of different parts of the decoder. Here, we present the process flow of these parts using basic algebraic operators. The analysis of the required logic elements to implement the decoder, on various platforms, is presented.
