Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving encoded information for transform coefficients of blocks; and decoding the encoded information, including decoding at least some of the encoded information in an escape mode for which plural codes have sizes that are signaled on a sub-frame basis, wherein the sizes are signaled for a first use of the escape mode in a sub-frame unit but not for a second or further subsequent use of the escape mode in the sub-frame unit, wherein the sizes comprise a run code size and a level code size, and wherein the decoding includes: for the first use of the escape mode in the sub-frame unit but not for the second or further subsequent use of the escape mode in the sub-frame unit, for each of the first use and the second or further subsequent use of the escape mode in the sub-frame unit,
