FIELD: computer engineering.
SUBSTANCE: method of decoding video, comprising receiving encoded video bit stream; obtaining from a bit stream information on a hierarchical structure of coding units in maximum coding unit; determining a plurality of maximum coding units, on which image is split in accordance with size of maximum coding unit and decoded plurality of maximum coding units according to raster scanning order; determining one or more encoding units, on which are hierarchically split maximum coding unit, according to information on a hierarchical structure of coding units; decoding one or more encoding units in maximum coding unit according to zigzag scanning order; and decoding four square blocks, into is split one coding unit, from one or more encoding units according to zigzag scanning order.
EFFECT: high efficiency of decoding high-resolution or high quality video content.
