Abstract
Techniques for controlling constant bit rate for a coded video bitstream using implicitly derived quantization values during coding are presented. A decoder component and an encoder component independently track a first subset of quantization-related parameters in relation to coding video frames. The encoder component encodes a macroblock of a video frame using a quantization value based on the first subset of coding parameters and a second subset of coding parameters. The decoder component calculates the quantization value for the macroblock based on the first subset and second subset of quantization-related parameters, the second subset received in a header with the bitstream. The decoder component uses calculated quantization values to adjust quantization levels in relation to decoding macroblocks of a frame to facilitate maintaining constant bit rate control for the bitstream. The second subset of quantization-related parameters includes parameter information other than explicit quantization change information.
