Abstract : Scalable High efficiency Video Coding (SHVC) is the scalable extension of the latest video coding standard High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). One of the key novelties introduced by SHVC is that it enables hybrid codec scalability. This basically means that the video layers can be encoded with different video standards providing backward compatibility between codecs. In this paper, we propose a software parallel SHVC decoder in hybrid codec scalability configuration. The proposed design consists of an Advanced Video Coding (AVC) decoder for the Base Layer (BL) and a HEVC decoder for the Enhanced Layer (EL). In order to perform Inter Layer Prediction (ILP), a communication of decoding states and outputs is established between the two decoders. While the native frame based parallelism is still allowed within the two decoders, the proposed design also enables the use of frame based parallelism between the two decoders. The proposed software design enables a real time decoding of the HEVC EL at 2160p60 while the AVC base layer is decoded at 1080p60 for x2 spatial scalability.
