| #### 9.6 Dequantization Indices {#h-09-06} |
| |
| |
| All residue signals are specified via a quantized 4x4 DCT applied to |
| the Y, U, V, or Y2 subblocks of a macroblock. As detailed in |
| Section 14, before inverting the transform, each decoded coefficient |
| is multiplied by one of six dequantization factors, the choice of |
| which depends on the plane (Y, chroma = U or V, Y2) and coefficient |
| position (DC = coefficient 0, AC = coefficients 1-15). The six |
| values are specified using 7-bit indices into six corresponding fixed |
| tables (the tables are given in Section 14). |
| |
| The first 7-bit index gives the dequantization table index for |
| Y-plane AC coefficients, called yac_qi. It is always coded and acts |
| as a baseline for the other 5 quantization indices, each of which is |
| represented by a delta from this baseline index. Pseudocode for |
| reading the indices follows: |
| |
| |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| yac_qi = L(7); /* Y ac index always specified */ |
| ydc_delta = F? delta(): 0; /* Y dc delta specified if |
| flag is true */ |
| |
| y2dc_delta = F? delta(): 0; /* Y2 dc delta specified if |
| flag is true */ |
| y2ac_delta = F? delta(): 0; /* Y2 ac delta specified if |
| flag is true */ |
| |
| uvdc_delta = F? delta(): 0; /* chroma dc delta specified |
| if flag is true */ |
| uvac_delta = F? delta(): 0; /* chroma ac delta specified |
| if flag is true */ |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

| Where `delta()` is the process to read 5 bits from the bitstream to |
| determine a signed delta value: |
| |
| |
| | Index | Description |
| | --------- | ------------------------------- |
| | `L(4)` | Magnitude of delta |
| | `L(1)` | Sign of delta, `0` for positive and `1` for negative |
