Confusion about decoding engine initialization after pcm_flag

Description

9.3 "CABAC parsing process for slice segment data" says that the decoding engine is initialized after reading pcm_flag and decoding a 1.

This implies that a decoder should:

  1. Read pcm_flag
  2. Read 9 bits giving the start for ivlOffset
  3. Discard alignment bits
  4. Read PCM samples

However, I suspect the intention is to have the decoding engine initialized only after reading the PCM samples:

  1. Read pcm_flag
  2. Discard alignment bits
  3. Read PCM samples
  4. Read 9 bits giving the start for ivlOffset


(The reference decoder uses the second method in function TDecSbac::parseIPCMInfo)

In AVC, the corresponding part is described as follows:

"In case the request for a value of a syntax element is processed for the syntax element mb_type and the decoded value of mb_type is equal to I_PCM, the decoding engine is initialised after the decoding of any pcm_alignment_zero_bit and all pcm_sample_luma and pcm_sample_chroma data as specified in clause 9.3.1.2."

Thus changing the aforementioned HEVC text to

"In case the request for a value of a syntax element is processed for the syntax element pcm_flag and the decoded value of pcm_flag is equal to 1, the decoding engine is initialized after the decoding of any pcm_alignment_zero_bit and all pcm_sample_luma and pcm_sample_chroma data as specified in subclause 9.3.2.5."

would fix that.

I think that the suggested HEVC text fix is correct. Thank you very much!
