Using Both HW Compression and HW Decompression

The previous section explained that the hardware decompression molecule of SunVideo Plus will implicitly create a device and device image if one has not already been created. Thus, if an application performed a decompress molecule and then created an MMACo1k device and device image, it would receive the device and image previously created implicitly by the decompress molecule. However, there is a problem in XIL with respect to deleting the device image. For this reason, if both hardware compression and decompression are to occur in an application, then the application is required to explicitly create a device and device image before the first hardware decompress molecule occurs.
