5.5MVC conformance testing

Remark: Hypothetically, it might be possible to write a tool to construct multi-view conformance test sequences from ordinary AVC conformance test sequences.
Volunteers to provide bitstreams: Mitsubishi, Nokia, NTT, Thomson
Thoughts on desired functionality coverage:

• 
  Dependency structures (simulcast, P views, B views, temporal prediction structures, only inter-view prediction, only anchor cross-view prediction, independent non-base view)
  
• 
  Use of anchor/non-anchor functionality (with and without exhibiting open GOP prediction behavior, with different dependency structures for anchors than for other points)
  
• 
  Variation of number of views (e.g. 2, 3, 8)
  
• 
  Different vs. shared subset SPSs
  
• 
  Large value of max_num_ref_frames
  
• 
  Reference picture list reordering
  
• 
  Bitstreams prior to extraction of operation point data subsets
  
• 
  Various extracted operation point subsets of such bitstreams
  
• 
  Some SEI message examples
  
• 
  MVC VUI
  
• 
  Bitstreams that have characteristics that change at IDR access units (e.g. operation point view subsets)
