In another embodiment, a method of coding video information includes receiving video information associated with a first layer and a second layer; determining whether at least one of the first layer and the second layer is a default layer; and at least partially restricting inter-layer prediction when neither the first layer nor the second layer is the default layer.
In another embodiment, a video coding apparatus includes means for receiving video information associated with a first layer and a second layer; means for receiving determining whether at least one of the first layer and the second layer is a default layer; and means for at least partially restricting inter-layer prediction when neither the first layer nor the second layer is the default layer.
In another embodiment, a non-transitory computer readable medium has stored thereon code that when executed causes an apparatus to receive video information associated with a first layer and a second layer; determine whether at least one of the first layer and the second layer is a default layer; and at least partially restrict inter-layer prediction when neither the first layer nor the second layer is the default layer.
