Abstract:
Techniques are described for encoding and decoding digital video data using macroblocks that are larger than the macroblocks prescribed by conventional video encoding and decoding standards. For example, the techniques include encoding and decoding a video stream using macroblocks comprising greater than 16×16 pixels. In one example, an apparatus includes a video encoder configured to encode a coded unit comprising a plurality of video blocks, wherein at least one of the plurality of video blocks comprises a size of more than 16×16 pixels and to generate syntax information for the coded unit that includes a maximum size value, wherein the maximum size value indicates a size of a largest one of the plurality of video blocks in the coded unit. The syntax information may also include a minimum size value. In this manner, the encoder may indicate to a decoder the proper syntax decoder to apply to the coded unit.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n encoding, with a video encoder, a coded unit comprising a plurality of video blocks, wherein at least one of the plurality of video blocks comprises a size of more than 16\u00d716 pixels; generating syntax information for the coded unit that includes a maximum size value, wherein the maximum size value indicates a size of a largest one of the plurality of video blocks in the coded unit, wherein generating the syntax information further comprises including, in the syntax information, a minimum size value, wherein the minimum size value indicates a size of a smallest one of the plurality of video blocks in the coded unit; and coding at least one of the plurality of video blocks having a size between the largest one of the plurality of video blocks and the smallest one of the plurality of video blocks.
