JCTVC-J0228 AhG5: Unification of transformed coefficient counter [K. Terada, H. Sasai, T. Nishi (Panasonic)]

This contribution proposes to unify two counters used in the transformed coefficients coding for simplification. The proposed modification was evaluated on top of HM7.0. Experimental result reportedly showed that proposed modification can be introduced into the HM7.0 without major impact on coding efficiency.

The removal of one counter appears beneficial in terms of clarity of the design.
