METHODS, EQUIPMENT, AND MACHINES FOR DECODING VIDEO DATA AND COMPUTER-READABLE IMMUTANT STORAGE MEDIA

Abstract

The invention relates to a method, apparatus and machine for decoding video data and immutable storage media readable by a computer. The video decoder can be configured to determine that the first block of video data is encoded in cross-component linear model (CCLM); to determine that the first block has the first bit depth; to determine that the second block of video data is encoded in CCLM; to determine that the second block has a second bit depth different from the first bit depth; and to decode the first and second blocks in CCLM using fixed bit depths, wherein the fixed bit depth is different from at least one of the first or second bit depths.
