Abstract

Claims (56)

1. A method of video processing, comprising:

performing a conversion between a video comprising a plurality of video layers and a bitstream of the video,

wherein the bitstream comprises a plurality of output layer sets (OLSs), each comprising one or more of the plurality of video layers, and the bitstream conforms to a format rule,

wherein the format rule specifies that, for an OLS having a single layer, a profile-tier-level (PTL) syntax structure that indicates a profile, a tier and a level for the OLS is included in a video parameter set for the bitstream, and the PTL syntax structure for the OLS is also included in a sequence parameter set coded in the bitstream,

wherein the format rule specifies that a number syntax element is included in the video parameter set indicative of a number of the PTL syntax structures coded in the video parameter set, and

wherein the number of PTL syntax structures is equal to a value of the number syntax element plus one.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the format rule further specifies a relationship between occurrence of the number of the PTL syntax structures in the video parameter set for the bitstream and a byte alignment syntax field in the video parameter set.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the format rule specifies that, at least one PTL syntax structure is included in the video parameter set, and due to inclusion of the at least one PTL syntax structure, one or more instances of the byte alignment syntax field are included in the video parameter set.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the byte alignment syntax field is one bit.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the value of each of the one or more instances of byte alignment syntax field has a value 0.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the format rule further specifies that:

during encoding, an index syntax element indicative of an index to the PTL syntax structure is excluded from the video parameter set for the bitstream in case that a value of the number syntax element is equal to zero, and,

during decoding, the value of the index syntax element is inferred to be zero in case that the index syntax element is not present in the bitstream.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing the conversion comprises encoding the video into the bitstream.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing the conversion comprises decoding the video from the bitstream.

9. An apparatus for processing video data comprising a processor and a non-transitory memory with instructions thereon, wherein the instructions upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to:

perform a conversion between a video comprising a plurality of video layers and a bitstream of the video,

wherein the bitstream comprises a plurality of output layer sets (OLSs), each comprising one or more of the plurality of video layers, and the bitstream conforms to a format rule,

wherein the format rule specifies that, for an OLS having a single layer, a profile-tier-level (PTL) syntax structure that indicates a profile, a tier and a level for the OLS is included in a video parameter set for the bitstream, and the PTL syntax structure for the OLS is also included in a sequence parameter set coded in the bitstream,

wherein the format rule specifies that a number syntax element is included in the video parameter set indicative of a number of the PTL syntax structures coded in the video parameter set, and

wherein the number of PTL syntax structures is equal to a value of the number syntax element plus one.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the performing the conversion comprises encoding the video into the bitstream.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the performing the conversion comprises decoding the video from the bitstream.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the format rule further specifies a relationship between occurrence of the number of the PTL syntax structures in the video parameter set for the bitstream and a byte alignment syntax field in the video parameter set,

wherein the format rule specifies that, at least one PTL syntax structure is included in the video parameter set, and due to inclusion of the at least one PTL syntax structure, one or more instances of the byte alignment syntax field are included in the video parameter set,

wherein the byte alignment syntax field is one bit, and

wherein the value of each of the one or more instances of byte alignment syntax field has a value 0.

13. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the format rule further specifies that:

during encoding, an index syntax element indicative of an index to the PTL syntax structure is excluded from the video parameter set for the bitstream in case that a value of the number syntax element is equal to zero, and,

during decoding, the value of the index syntax element is inferred to be zero in case that the index syntax element is not present in the bitstream.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that cause a processor to:

perform a conversion between a video comprising a plurality of video layers and a bitstream of the video,

wherein the bitstream comprises a plurality of output layer sets (OLSs), each comprising one or more of the plurality of video layers, and the bitstream conforms to a format rule,
