Method for encoding video
A method for decoding video includes receiving a frame of the video that includes at least one slice and at least one tile. Each of the at least one slice and the at least one tile are not all aligned with one another. Each of the at least one slice is characterized that it is decoded independently of the other the at least one slice. Each of the at least one tile is characterized that it is a rectangular region of the frame and having coding units for the decoding arranged in a raster scan order. The at least one tile of the frame are collectively arranged in a raster scan order of the frame.
1. A method for encoding video comprising:
(a) using a video encoder to generate a bit-stream of a frame of said video that includes at least one slice and at least one tile, wherein said at least one tile is a rectangular region of said frame and includes coding units for said encoding arranged in a raster scan order;
(b) using the video encoder to encode a first syntax element in a slice header of said at least one slice indicating whether bit-stream location information of said at least one tile is transmitted within said slice header of the at least one slice; and
(c) in a case when the first syntax element indicates bit-stream location of said at least one tile is transmitted within said slice header, using the video encoder to encode a second syntax element in said slice header of said at least one slice indicating a bit-stream location of said at least one tile in the bit-stream.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second syntax element indicates a byte location of said at least one tile in the bit-stream.
