1. A method for decoding individual layer parameters signaled in a transport stream including a high efficiency video coding (HEVC) layered stream with a plurality of HEVC temporal layers in the transport stream carried in separate elementary streams, the method comprising:

  • receiving an HEVC video descriptor including one or more syntax elements in the HEVC video descriptor that apply to the whole HEVC layered video stream;

    determining from the HEVC video descriptor one or more elements that indicate whether the plurality of HEVC temporal layers are present in one or more spatial layers in the HEVC layered video stream, wherein one or more of the plurality of HEVC temporal layers are carried in respective elementary streams;

    receiving at least one extension descriptor that extends the HEVC video descriptor for each elementary stream having an associated HEVC temporal layer in the HEVC layered video stream; and

    wherein the at least one extension descriptor includes operation point information signaled in the transport stream using an operation point descriptor, the transport stream carrying the operation point descriptor in a Program Map Table (PMT),wherein the one or more spatial layers in the HEVC layered video stream in the transport stream include at least one of one combined layer that includes a base layer and an enhancement layer or individual layers that include a separate base layer and one or more enhancement layers.
