A multi-standard video decompression apparatus has a plurality of stages interconnected by a two-wire interface arranged as a pipeline processing machine. Control tokens and DATA Tokens pass over the single two-wire interface for carrying both control and data in token format. A token decode circuit is positioned in certain of the stages for recognizing certain of the tokens as control tokens pertinent to that stage and for passing unrecognized control tokens along the pipeline. Reconfiguration processing circuits are positioned in selected stages and are responsive to a recognized control token for reconfiguring such stage to handle an identified DATA Token. A wide variety of unique supporting subsystem circuitry and processing techniques are disclosed for implementing the system.

In a system having an input and an output and a plurality of processing stages between the input and the output, the improvement comprising: an interactive interfacing token, defining a universal adaptation unit for control and/or data functions among said processing stages; and one of said stages receiving said input and adapted to generate and/or convert said tokens, and wherein said one of said stages detects overlaping start codes whereby the first start code is ignored and the second start code is used to create start code tokens.
