Reconfigurable hardware solutions for the digital rights management of digital cinema

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a hardware implementation of a decoder for Digital Cinema images. This decoder enables us to deal with image size of 2K with 24 frames per second and 36 bits per pixels. It is the first implementation known nowadays that perfectly fits in one single Virtex-II® FPGA and includes AES decryption, JPEG 2000 decompression and fingerprinting blocks. This hardware offers therefore high-quality image processing as well as robust security.
