Claim 2:
3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first packet is of a first packet type, and the processor is configured to read, from a packet of a second packet type, a sequence of profile or level descriptors individually associated with at least a subset of a plurality of operation points, each profile or level descriptor defining an available coding option set or an available syntax element value range which a syntax of packets having the operation point associated with the respective profile or level descriptor, associated therewith, obey,
wherein the processor is configured to,
responsive to a signaling in the data stream, read from a first set of the profile or level descriptors the definition of the available coding option set or available syntax element value range, and
read, for a second, disjoint non-empty set of the profile or level descriptors, a reference to another, profile or level descriptor and derive the definition of the available coding option set or available syntax element value range of the second, disjoint non-empty set of the profile or level descriptors from the respective referenced profile or level descriptor.
