Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment,
as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the
Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
Amendment 2 to ISO/IEC 14496-10:2014 was prepared by ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 29, Coding of audio, picture, multimedia and hypermedia information.

Page 306, Annex A
Replace A.3 with the following:
A.3 Levels
The following is specified for expressing the constraints in this annex.
— Let access unit n be the n-th access unit in decoding order with the first access unit being access unit 0.
— Let picture n be the primary coded picture or the corresponding decoded picture of access unit n.
Let the variable fR be derived as follows:
— If the level number is equal to 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2, fR is set equal to 1 ÷ 300.
— Otherwise, if picture n is a frame, fR is set equal to 1 ÷ 172.
— Otherwise (picture n is a field), fR is set equal to 1 ÷ (172 * 2).

Page 307, Annex A
Replace the text of items k) and l) of A.3.1 with the following:
k) The vertical motion vector component range for luma motion vectors does not exceed the range
from −MaxVmvR to (MaxVmvR − 0.25) in units of luma frame samples, where MaxVmvR is specified
in Table A-1.
NOTE 1 When chroma_format_idc is equal to 1 and the current macroblock is a field macroblock, the
motion vector component range for chroma motion vectors may exceed the range from −MaxVmvR to
(MaxVmvR − 0.25) in units of luma frame samples, due to the method of deriving chroma motion vectors as
specified in 8.4.1.4.
l) The horizontal motion vector component range for luma motion vectors does not exceed the
following range:
ISO/IEC 14496-10:2014/FDAM 2:2016(E)

— If the level number is less than 6.0, the specified range is from −2 048 to 2 047.75, inclusive, in units
of luma samples.
— Otherwise, the specified range is from −8 192 to 8 191.75, inclusive, in units of luma samples.
