Patent ID: 8705617

Claim:
A method for processing multimedia data comprising: receiving, from a first processor, a first set of quantized coefficients representing at least one video frame, wherein the first set of quantized coefficients represent a base layer; receiving, from the first processor, a second set of quantized coefficients representing the at least one video frame, wherein the second set of quantized coefficients represent an enhancement layer; generating, at a second processor, using the first set of quantized coefficients and the second set of quantized coefficients, a third set of quantized coefficients representing the at least one video frame, wherein generating the third set of quantized coefficients is based in part on a first quantization parameter associated with the first set of quantized coefficients and a second quantization parameter associated with the second set of quantized coefficients, and wherein the first quantization parameter is not a factor of the second quantization parameter; and wherein the first set of quantized coefficients is scaled based on a difference of the first quantization parameter and the second quantization parameter to get a scaled first set of quantized coefficients and wherein the third set of quantized coefficients is generated using the scaled first set of quantized coefficients and the second set of quantized coefficients.
