Abstract: A video decoder decodes a video from a video bitstream encoded using Versatile Video Coding (VVC). The video decoder determines a bit depth of samples of the video based on Sequence Parameter Set (SPS) syntax element sps_bitdepth_minus8 whose value is in the range of 0 to 8. The decoder further determines the size of a decoded picture buffer (DPB) based on a Video Parameter Set (VPS) syntax element vps_ols_dpb_bitdepth_minus8 whose value is in the range of 0 to 8. The decoder allocates a storage space with the determined size of the DPB, decodes the video bitstream based on the determined bit depth, and thus obtains and stores a decoded picture in the DPB. The decoder further outputs the decoded picture.

The provision of such information within the metadata of immersive video may address problems associated with blending and pruned view reconstruction. Also provided are an encoder and a decoder for multi-view data for immersive video, and a corresponding bitstream, comprising metadata.
