FIELD: physics, video.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to transportation of encoded video. Disclosed is a device for constructing a bit stream, which includes: a multiplexer which constructs a data structure corresponding to a multiview video coding (MVC) operation point of an MPEG-2 bit stream, wherein the data structure signals a rendering capability value which describes a rendering capability to be satisfied by a receiving device to use the MVC operation point, a decoding capability value which describes a decoding capability to be satisfied by the receiving device to use the MVC operation point, and a bit rate value which describes a bit rate of the MVC operation point, and which includes the data structure as part of the bit stream; and an output interface which outputs the bit stream comprising said data structure.
EFFECT: improved MVC in an MPEG-2 standard; said technical result is achieved due to that the source and destination video devices use data structures which signal operation point information for an MPEG-2 bit stream.
