Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, with a decoding module, a media object that includes encoded media data that represents a set of one or more video frames and a range indication element that indicates a maximum dynamic range of inverse discrete cosine transform (“IDCT”) output values associated with the encoded media data; determining whether the maximum dynamic range of IDCT output values associated with the encoded media data includes an IDCT output value that is outside a given range; using a first operation to generate a set of IDCT output values based on the encoded media data when the maximum dynamic range of IDCT output values associated with the encoded media data does not include an IDCT output value that is outside the given range; using the set of IDCT output values to generate reconstructed video frames associated with video frames in the set of video frames; causing a media presentation unit to present the reconstructed video frames; and performing a second operation when the maximum dynamic range of IDCT output values associated with the encoded media data includes an IDCT output value that is outside the given range, the second operation being different than the first operation.
