Abstract
A video encoder is disclosed that is configured to encode a slice of a current picture into a data stream by partitioning the slice into rows of Coding Tree Units (CTUs), select a CTU dependency offset for the slice out of a plurality of CTU dependency offsets, the CTU dependency offset indicating a minimum CTU offset between consecutive CTU rows to be obeyed by a decoder when decoding CTU rows in parallel, and signal the CTU dependency offset in the data stream. The CTU dependency offset is selected based on a slice type of the slice.
