SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGEMENT OF SCALABILITY INFORMATION IN SCALABLE VIDEO AND AUDIO CODING SYSTEMS USING CONTROL MESSAGES

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for communicating timely information related to the scalability layer structure of signals received by decoders and other components in a video and/or audio communication system. For a communication system, which uses the Standard H.264 SVC coding format, standard SSEI messages are modified or supplemented to include the ability to signal scalability layer structure information and changes thereof. Recipients can use the signal scalability layer information to properly process or decode received signals.
