Abstract
A method of signalling a signal adjustment when encoding an input signal using a hierarchical coding scheme to manage a display aspect ratio. The hierarchical coding scheme comprises encoding a downsampled version of the input signal using a first encoding method to produce a first encoded signal. When the downsampling operation of the hierarchical coding scheme is a non-square downsampling operation, the method signals an adjustment to cause a pixel aspect ratio of the first encoded signal to be adjusted by a scaling factor, wherein the scaling factor is determined from the non-square downsampling operation. Additionally, correction is applied in an enhancement level of the hierarchical coding scheme to ensure that the signalled change of pixel aspect ratio does not lead to unintended consequences in the enhanced reproduction at a decoder-side.
