SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENCODING AND DECODING VIDEO WHICH SUPPORT COMPATIBILITY FUNCTIONALITY TO LEGACY VIDEO PLAYERS

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for receiving and encoding video images, the system including: an encoding unit for encoding at least one of a slice of a picture of said video images, a parameter set of said video images, and a supplementary enhancement information of said video image, said encoding step being done according to an Advanced Video Coding (AVC) scheme, or a High Efficiency Video Coding Scheme (HEVC); and a Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) writing unit for writing one or more parameters to an NAL header of said encoded video images and outputting said encoded video images; wherein said outputted encoded video images may be read and decoded by either a standard AVC video decoder or an HEVC video decoder.
