1. A method, comprising:
- receiving plural representations of a single video signal, wherein each of the plural representations includes a respective sequence of latticed pictures, wherein each latticed picture in each of the plural representations originates from a corresponding respective picture of the video signal, wherein the order of successive pictures in each of the plural representations of the video signal corresponds to the order of successive pictures in the video signal;
processing the plural representations;
separating the processed plural representations into plural segments, each segment consisting of a respective sequence of processed latticed pictures from one of the processed plural representations;
arranging the plural segments in successive segments distributions intervals (SDIs) according to a first temporal order and a second temporal order, the successive SDIs to be provided in a video stream; and
promoting one or more of the processed latticed pictures among one or more of the plural segments, the promotion corresponding to an increase in picture importance.
