Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: encoding a plurality of frames, wherein at least one of the plurality of encoded frames is predicted from another one of the plurality of encoded frames, with an encoder; encoding a delay parameter in a sequence header of a hierarchical bitstream including the plurality of encoded frames, the hierarchical bitstream comprising the sequence header and a sequence payload, the sequence payload comprising a Group of Pictures Header and a plurality of Groups of Pictures, wherein each Group of Pictures further comprise a plurality of pictures and picture headers, wherein the delay parameter is a programmable re-ordering buffer delay determined based upon an encoding configuration of the encoder; encoding a presentation time stamp with each of the plurality of encoded frames, wherein the presentation time stamp is a function of the delay parameter, a decode time stamp, and a number of frames between a first anchor frame of the plurality of frames and a second anchor frame of the plurality of frames; and transmitting the hierarchical bitstream over a communication medium.
