Abstract:
1. A method of decoding video data, comprising: receiving a single variable length code (VLC) code word for a coded block pattern (CBP) of a coding unit (CU) of the video data that includes a luma component (Y), a first chroma component (U), and a second chroma component (V); determining, based on the single VLC code word, the CBP for the CU, wherein the CBP indicates individually whether or not each of the luma component (Y), the first chroma component (U), and the second chroma component (V) includes a non-zero coefficient, and wherein determining the CBP for the CU comprises mapping the single VLC code word to the CBP using a VLC code table selected based on a context determined for the CU, the context selected from a group consisting of: using the determined CBP to decode the CU.
