NOTE – When singleMCLFlag is equal to 1, all the prediction units of the current coding unit share a single merge candidate list, which is identical to the merge candidate list of the 2Nx2N prediction unit."" At the end of the chapter we have: ""The following assignments are made with N being the candidate at position merge_idx[ xP][ yP ] in the merging candidate list mergeCandList ( N = mergeCandList[ merge_idx[ xP][ yP ] ] ) and X being replaced by 0 or 1: mvLX[ 0 ] = mvLXN[ 0 ] (8 79) mvLX[ 1 ] = mvLXN[ 1 ] (8 80) refIdxLX = refIdxLXN (8 81) predFlagLX = predFlagLXN (8 82)"" ============ So when singleMCLFlag = 1, since xP=xC and yP=yC for every PB of the CB, in this case every PB of the CB has the same result : mvLX, refIdxLX, predFlagLX. My understanding is that, according to the note, the aim of singleMCLFlag=1, is that every PB of the CB has the same candidate list, and not necessarily the same vector. Moreover, there is a value of merge_idx[][] for every PB of the CB in the bitstream and here we only use the first one of the CB. My proposal is that the initial values of xP and yP are kept and used in merge_idx. The text would be modified this way : Let's set xP_init to xP, and yP_init to yP. ""When singleMCLFlag is equal to 1, xP is set equal to xC, yP is set equal to yC, and both nPbW and nPbH are set equal to nCS."" ...
