FIELD: video technology.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to video encoding/decoding technologies, or rather to signaling scalability in terms of space, quality and multiple angles in the video bitstream. A method for determining the output level for inter-level prediction using at least one processor is proposed. According to the method, an encoded video sequence is obtained from an encoded video bitstream. Next, the first syntactic element is obtained indicating the number of levels included in the encoded video sequence; the second syntactic element is obtained indicating whether all levels included in the encoded video sequence are independent; the third syntactic element is obtained indicating the output mode based on the first syntactic element indicating that the number of levels is more than one, and a second syntactic element indicating that not all levels are independent. And also the output mode is determined based on the third syntactic element; one or more output levels from a set of levels are determined based on the output mode that has been determined; and one or more output levels are output.
EFFECT: increase in scalability signaling accuracy with respect to multiple angles in the video bitstream.
