This Recommendation specifies network service operator's requirements for a real-time transmission system for signals in the extended LSDI hierarchy, including an encoder and a decoder. Appendix II describes, for information purposes, a method based on the use of parallel processing for encoding images in the extended LSDI hierarchy. The described parallel processing includes a spatially segmented method, a temporally interleaved method, a frequency sub-band division method and possible hybrid schemes of those methods.

NOTE – The structure and content of this Recommendation have been organized for ease of use by those familiar with the original source material; as such, the usual style of ITU-T recommendations has not been applied.
