Abstract:
A processor for video coding receives a full-frame rate (FFR) HDR video signal and a corresponding FFR SDR video signal. An encoder generates a scalable bitstream that allows decoders to generate half-frame-rate (HFR) SDR, FFR SDR, HFR HDR, or FFR HDR signals. Given odd and even frames of the input FFR SDR signal, the scalable bitstream combines a base layer of coded even SDR frames with an enhancement layer of coded packed frames, where each packed frame includes a downscaled odd SDR frame, a downscaled even HDR residual frame, and a downscaled odd HDR residual frame. In an alternative implementation, the scalable bitstream combines four signals layers: a base layer of even SDR frames, an enhancement layer of odd SDR frames, a base layer of even HDR residual frames and an enhancement layer of odd HDR residual frames. Corresponding decoder architectures are also presented.
