Where Does the Codec Engine Fit into My Architecture?

The following figure is a modification of the previous diagram that shows how this architecture is distributed in a GPP+DSP system. In this example, yellow portions run on the GPP, and grey portions run on the DSP. This is, the video encoder skeleton and the video encoder codecs are on the DSP and the application and video encoder stubs are on the GPP.

Since Codec Engine is flexible, alternate diagrams could be shown for GPP-only and DSP-only systems.
