Claim 12:
13. A video decoding device comprising:
means for decoding, via a first syntax level of a coded video bitstream, a first deblocking filter control syntax element with a value that specifies whether deblocking filter information is present in a second syntax level of the bitstream, wherein the first syntax level comprises a picture parameter set (PPS), and the second syntax level comprises a picture header (PH);
means for decoding, via the first syntax level of the coded video bitstream, a second deblocking filter control syntax element with a value that specifies whether deblocking override is enabled;
means for decoding, responsive to the first deblocking filter control syntax element specifying that the deblocking filter information is present in the second syntax level of the bitstream and regardless of the value of the second deblocking filter control syntax element, via the second syntax level, one or more syntax elements that specify deblocking filter information; and
means for applying, based on the deblocking filter information, a deblocking filter to a block of video data.
