Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for encoding and decoding layered video where the non-temporal enhancement layers and their respective temporal enhancement layers, comply with a scalable video coding standard or technology, and the base layer and its respective temporal enhancement layers does not comply with the same scalable video coding standard or technology. A Video Parameter Set that comprises information about the relationship of layers includes a syntax element indicative of the derivation mechanism for a temporal layer associated with a NAL unit coded in a first coding technology, for example HEVC. For one value of the syntax element, the derivation mechanism is to set the temporal layer of the base layer NAL unit to the value coded in the header of the encapsulating NAL unit, which can be an HEVC NAL unit. For another value, the derivation mechanism is to imply the value of temporal base layer for the first NAL unit.
