Abstract:
1. A method for decoding an encoded video signal comprising: decoding at least one picture delimiter elementary data unit included in an access unit of a scalable video coding encoded video signal, the at least one picture delimiter elementary data unit associated with a first picture decodable according to a first algorithm, the at least one picture delimiter elementary data unit precedes the first picture and is configured to be selectively ignored during the decoding of a subset of the encoded video signal in accordance with the first algorithm, the at least one picture delimiter elementary data unit includes syntax elements for a temporal level identification and a priority identifier for the first picture associated with the at least one picture delimiter elementary data unit; and utilizing information contained in the at least one picture delimiter elementary data unit for decoding a subsequent elementary data unit of the encoded video signal; wherein the first picture represents the primary coded picture in the base layer of the encoded video signal and wherein the at least one picture delimiter elementary data unit includes further syntax elements affecting the decoding process of the primary coded picture in the base layer when at least one enhancement layer is present.
