Abstract

A decoder receives a field start code for an entry point key frame. The field start code indicates a second coded interlaced video field in the entry point key frame following a first coded interlaced video field in the entry point key frame and indicates a point to begin decoding of the second coded interlaced video field. The first coded interlaced video field is a predicted field, and the second coded interlaced video field is an intra-coded field. The decoder decodes the second field without decoding the first field. The field start code can be followed by a field header. The decoder can receive a frame header for the entry point key frame. The frame header may comprise a syntax element indicating a frame coding mode for the entry point key frame and/or a syntax element indicating field types for the first and second coded interlaced video fields.
