Claim Text:
1. A decoding method of a video, the method comprising: obtaining a split transformation flag for a current depth, from a bitstream; when the split transformation flag indicates non-split for the current depth, determining a transformation depth is equal to the current depth; determining a context increasement parameter for determining a context index based on whether the transformation depth is equal to a predetermined value without using a size of a transformation unit; obtaining a context model for arithmetic decoding a transformation unit significant coefficient flag using the context index obtained by adding the context increasement parameter and a context offset; arithmetic decoding the transformation unit significant coefficient flag based on the context model; and determining whether at least one non-zero transformation coefficient exists in the transformation unit of the transformation depth, based on the transformation unit significant coefficient flag, wherein the transformation depth indicates a number of times a height and a width of a coding unit are split to obtain the transformation unit, wherein the predetermined value is zero, wherein, when the split transformation flag indicates a split for a current depth, the transformation unit of the current depth is split into four transformation units of a next depth, and a split transformation flag for the next depth is obtained from the bitstream, and wherein the context model includes an information to determine a most probable symbol (MPS).
