FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: in the solution presented, after the current picture has been decoded and saved in the decoded picture buffer, the DPB, a number of pictures in the DPB which are marked as necessary for output is determined. This number is compared, after the current picture has been decoded and saved in the DPB, with the value obtained from at least one syntax element, presented or to be presented, in the bit stream representing the video sequence pictures. If this number is more than the value, the picture, which is the first picture in the output order among the pictures in the DPB, which are marked as necessary for output, is preferably output and marked as not necessary for output.
EFFECT: reduction of the pictures displaying delay.
