Abstract:

A device for coding video data, the device comprising a memory configured to store video data; and one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to: code a value for a profile indicator syntax element in a bitstream including video data, the value for the profile indicator representing a class of a profile to which the bitstream conforms; code one or more values representing one or more coding-tool-specific constraints, separate from the profile indicator syntax element, each of the coding-tool-specific constraints indicating whether coding tools corresponding to the coding-tool-specific constraints can be enabled for at least a subset of the bitstream; and code the video data according to the coding-tool-specific constraints and the class of the profile.
