A device via a scalable nest sleeve supplemented in the encoded video bitstream multiple syntax element of multiple operation points nested SEI message enhancement information SEI message decoding identification by the scalable nest a nesting SEI message encapsulation is applied. In addition the device uses one or more syntax elements in the nested SEI message of performing operation with respect to any of the operating point of the nested SEI message applies.

A device decodes from a scalable nesting supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message in an encoded video bitstream a plurality of syntax elements that identify a plurality of operation points to which a nested SEI message encapsulated by the scalable nesting SEI message applies. Furthermore the device uses one or more syntax elements of the nested SEI message to perform an operation regarding any of the operation points to which the nested SEI message applies.
