Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method determines an encoded plurality of layers for a scalable video stream for a video where each of the plurality of layers includes a respective layer parameter setting. An additional layer for the plurality of layers is determined where the additional layer enhances a base layer in the plurality of layers and the respective layer parameter settings for the encoded plurality of layers do not take into account the additional layer. The method then determines an additional layer parameter setting for the additional layer. The additional layer parameter setting specifies a relationship between the additional layer and at least a portion of the plurality of layers where the additional layer parameter setting is used to decode the additional layer and the at least a portion of the plurality of layers.

Claim (Index 14):
An apparatus for decoding a transport stream including one or more descriptors carrying syntax elements for an encoded plurality of high efficiency video coding (HEVC) layers, the apparatus comprising:\n one or more computer processors; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, control the one or more computer processors to:\n identify a first syntax element from the one or more descriptors in the transport stream to determine a respective layer parameter setting for each of the encoded plurality of HEVC layers; \n identify a second syntax element from the one or more descriptors, the second syntax element indicating a layer decodable in the transport stream in addition to the encoded plurality of HEVC layers; \n identify from the one or more descriptors at least one additional layer parameter setting for the additional layer, the at least one additional layer parameter setting including a hierarchy parameter indexing a dependency between the additional layer and at least a portion of the encoded plurality of HEVC layers, wherein the at least one additional layer parameter setting is for decoding the additional layer and the at least a portion of the encoded plurality of HEVC layers; and \n decoding the at least a portion of the plurality of layers and the additional layer based on the signaled dependency.
