JCTVC-B002 [K. McCann, M. Karczewicz, J. Ridge, S. Sekiguchi, T. Wiegand (chairs)] AHG report: Test Model under Consideration (TMuC) editing

This document summarised the activities of the ad hoc group on Editing the Test Model under Consideration (TMuC) document between the 1st JCT-VC meeting in Dresden, Germany (15 to 23 April, 2010) and the 2nd JCT-VC meeting in Geneva, Switzerland (21 to 28 July, 2010).

During the presentation of the report, the following issues were raised and discussed:

• 
  The latest draft (rev 7) of the TMuC document was only made available shortly before the meeting. However, considering the amount of work it seemed impossible to meet an earlier schedule. Previous versions had been available for a sufficiently long time.
  
• 
  Existing NAL and high-level syntax concepts of AVC should be re-used to the degree possible. For this purpose, a breakout group (led by Rickard Sjoberg) was established during the current meeting to identify which parts of AVC HL syntax are relevant, as further discussed below in the section relating to the break-out report JCTVC-B121. The operating assumption is that except as otherwise decided, we inherit the AVC High Profile design characteristics with frame_mbs_only_flag = 1.
  
• 
  The TMuC documentation should also include an encoder description (which may be in a separate document from the syntax and decoding process). A plan was established at the current meeting to develop such documentation.
