Patent attributes
An apparatus configured to code video information in a bitstream includes a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The memory is configured to store video information associated with a first layer including a first picture and a second layer including a second picture, the first picture associated with a current access unit (AU). The processor is configured to determine whether the current AU satisfies a first condition associated with the first layer, and based on a determination that the current AU does not satisfy the first condition associated with the first layer, determine whether a difference between a highest picture order count (POC) and a lowest POC of a plurality of pictures in a decoded picture buffer (DPB) is less than a threshold value. The processor may encode or decode the video information in the bitstream.
