FIELD: information technology.SUBSTANCE: apparatus comprises a video encoder that encodes a plurality of views of a scene, a multiplexer that constructs a data structure for signalling that a corresponding MPEG-2 standard bit stream comprises a first view of the scene associated with a first view order index and a second view of the scene associated with a second view order index, wherein the first view order index and the second view order index are non-consecutive, and an output interface that outputs the data structure.EFFECT: enabling a receiving device, after receiving a transport level stream containing a plurality of sub-bit streams, each having non-consecutive views, to reorder views in the sub-bit streams such that the transport stream is ordered properly, ie, in ascending order from the standpoint of view order indices, such that a decoder can properly decode frames of each of the views.32 cl, 8 dwg |
