Signaling and derivation of decoded picture buffer parameters
A system for decoding a video bitstream that includes a base bitstream and enhancement bitstreams is disclosed. The system receives a video parameter set and a video parameter set extension, where the video parameter set extension includes decoder picture buffer parameters. In one embodiment, a method for decoding a video sequence is disclosed. The method comprises: (a) receiving said video sequence; (b) determining the number of an output layer set for said video sequence; (c) determining a maximum number of sub-layers minus one for at least one of said at least one output layer set; (d) decoding a characteristic of a decoded picture buffer for a sub layer of one of said at least one output layer set.
1. A method for decoding a video sequence that includes a picture comprising:
(a) receiving said video sequence;
(b) determining a number of output layers set for said video sequence;
(c) decoding a characteristic of a decoded picture buffer for one of sub layers included in one of said output layer sets, wherein
said characteristic specifies a maximum number of access units containing a picture with a picture output flag equal to 1 that can precede a first access unit that contains a picture with a picture output flag equal to 1 in a decoding order and follow said first access unit in an output order.
