Claim:
1. A method of decoding multi-layer video data, the method comprising: decoding a bitstream that comprises an encoded representation of the multi-layer video data, wherein decoding the bitstream comprises obtaining, from the bitstream, syntax elements that indicate a plurality of different partitioning schemes, wherein: determining whether a multi-layer video decoder is capable of decoding the output layer set, wherein the multi-layer video decoder conforms to a list of triplet entries, wherein each respective triplet entry in the list of triplet entries indicates a profile, a tier, and a level for a respective single-layer decoder of the multi-layer video decoder, and decoders conforming to the list of triplet entries are required to be able to decode the output layer set if the one or more partitioning schemes include a suitable partitioning scheme in which, for each respective partition of the partitioning scheme, one single-layer decoder of the multi-layer video decoder can be assigned exclusively for decoding the respective partition; and based on the multi-layer video decoder being capable of decoding the bitstream, decoding, by the multi-layer video decoder, the bitstream.
