The object of the present invention is inter alia to provide an architecture for a processor module which can be used in a video processing system and which is flexible and readily adaptable to the desired operations to be carried out on the video signals; precisely because the video signals have to be processed on a real-time basis, said operations will often have to be carried out in parallel. According to another aspect of the invention, a video processor system for processing video signal samples on a real-time basis is put forward which is provided with at least one processor unit for deriving, from the video signal samples supplied, signals which are suitable for driving an imaging unit, the processor unit comprising at least one processor module with processor elements operating in parallel in time, including at least one arith metic and/or logic processor element and at least one memory processor element, and a …
