Abstract:
A method comprising: encoding a first picture on a first scalability layer and on a lowest temporal sub-layer; encoding a second picture on a second scalability layer and on the lowest temporal sub-layer, wherein the first picture and the second picture represent the same time instant, encoding one or more first syntax elements, associated with the first picture, with a value indicating that a picture type of the first picture is other than a step-wise temporal sub-layer access (STSA) picture; encoding one or more second syntax elements, associated with the second picture, with a value indicating that a picture type of the second picture is a step-wise temporal sub-layer access picture; and encoding at least a third picture on a second scalability layer and on a temporal sub-layer higher than the lowest temporal sub-layer.

Claim (Index 6):
An apparatus comprising:\n at least one processor and at least one memory, said at least one memory stored with code thereon, which when executed by said at least one processor, causes an apparatus to perform at least: receiving coded pictures of a first scalability layer; decoding the coded pictures of the first scalability layer; receiving coded pictures of a second scalability layer, the second scalability layer depending on the first scalability layer; selecting a layer access picture on the second scalability layer from the coded pictures of a second scalability layer, wherein the selected layer access picture is a step-wise temporal sub-layer access (STSA) picture on the lowest temporal sub-layer and with a TemporalID equal to 0; ignoring coded pictures on a second scalability layer prior to, in decoding order, the selected layer access picture; decoding the selected layer access picture; and starting step-wise decoding of at least one enhancement layer in response to said at least one enhancement layer containing an intra random access point (IRAP) picture or an STSA picture on the lowest sub-layer, wherein starting step-wise decoding comprises: when the current picture is a temporal sub-layer access (TSA) or STSA picture at a higher sub-layer than the lowest sub-layer and decoding of the next lower sub-layer in the same layer has been started, and decoding of the same sub-layer of all the reference layers of the TSA or STSA picture has been started, the TSA or STSA picture and all pictures at the same sub-layer following the TSA or STSA picture, in decoding order, in the same layer are decoded.
