摘要

In a method for encoding and an encoder for a 3D video signal, a principal data layer, a depth map for the principal data layers and further data layers are encoded. Several data layers are combined in one or more common data layers by moving data segments such as data blocks from data layers of origin into common data layers and keeping record of the shift in an additional data stream.
