a filter circuit configured to perform the computational operations of the symmetric 2D FIR filter, wherein the filter circuit comprises one input for each vertical coefficient position of the symmetric 2D FIR filter; and
a router comprising an input and an output for each vertical coefficient position of the symmetric 2D FIR filter, wherein each router output is operatively connected to a unique one of the filter circuit inputs, wherein each router input is operatively connected to receive reconstructed pixel values from a unique one of consecutive rows within horizontal virtual boundaries of the reconstructed LCU, wherein a central row in the consecutive rows comprises reconstructed pixels to be filtered and is operatively connected to a central router input, and wherein the router is configured to direct pixel values received at the router inputs to the router outputs based on a value of a region identifier,
wherein when a value of the region identifier corresponds to a region of the reconstructed LCU comprising a row of reconstructed pixels at a top horizontal virtual boundary of the reconstructed LCU and a row of reconstructed pixels at a bottom horizontal virtual boundary of the reconstructed LCU, the router directs reconstructed pixel values received at the central router input to all router outputs.
