1. A method of decoding high efficiency video coding (HEVC) layers in a transport stream, the method comprising:

  • receiving and decoding said transport stream, said transport stream including packetized elementary streams (PES) for an encoded plurality of HEVC layers, said decoding including decoding one or more descriptors in the transport stream for;

    determining a respective transport stream parameter setting for each of said packetized encoded plurality of HEVC layers;

    identifying syntax elements carried in the one or more descriptors, said syntax elements including a transport stream parameter setting for each of the plurality of HEVC layers;

    determining an additional transport stream parameter setting for an additional layer in the packetized encoded plurality of HEVC layers that is decodable from the transport stream in addition to the packetized encoded plurality of HEVC layers, the additional transport stream parameter setting specifying a relationship between the additional layer and at least a portion of the encoded plurality of HEVC layers, wherein the additional transport stream parameter setting is for decoding the additional layer and the at least a portion of the plurality of layers;

    identifying an operation point that identifies the additional layer; and

    identifying from an extension descriptor to the one or more descriptors at least one additional transport stream setting for the additional layer, the at least one additional layer parameter setting including a hierarchy parameter indexing a dependency between the additional layer and at least a portion of the encoded plurality of HEVC layers;

    decoding the packetized encoded plurality of HEVC layers including the additional layer having a dependency on at least a portion of the encoded plurality of HEVC layers.
