US Patent 9584804 Coding SEI NAL units for video coding

In one example, a device for decoding video data includes a processor configured to determine, for a supplemental enhancement information (SEI) network abstraction layer (NAL) unit of a bitstream, whether a NAL unit type value for the SEI NAL unit indicates that the NAL unit comprises a prefix SEI NAL unit including a prefix SEI message or a suffix SEI NAL unit including a suffix SEI message, and decode video data of the bitstream following the SEI NAL unit based on whether the SEI NAL unit is the prefix SEI NAL unit or the suffix SEI NAL unit and data of the SEI NAL unit.
