Estimating the term…

A system for encoding and/or decoding video that include NAL unit types.

Dependent claims

A method for decoding a video bitstream comprising:

a) receiving a video parameter set extension syntax including a flag that specifies whether or not a layer is a direct reference layer of a current layer;
b) deriving the number of direct reference layers for said current layer based on said flag;
c) determining, using the number of direct reference layers, if said current layer is an independent layer.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
