  • Publication number: 20240155130
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for video processing are described. The video processing may include video encoding, video decoding or video transcoding. One example method of video processing includes performing a conversion between a block of a video and a bitstream of the video according to a rule. The conversion is based on an adaptive motion vector difference resolution (AMVR) tool, and the rule specifies that selection of a context for a first bin within a bin string of a first syntax element that specifies the resolution of the motion vector difference associated with an AMVR shift is derived based on usage of a coding mode for the block.
