t active at the start of the operation of the decoding process. At most one picture parameter set RBSP is considered as the active picture parameter set RBSP at any given moment during the operation of the decoding process, and when any particular picture parameter set RBSP becomes the active picture parameter set RBSP, the previously-active picture parameter set RBSP (if any) is deactivated. In addition to the active picture parameter set RBSP, zero or more picture parameter set RBSPs may be specifically active for view components (with a particular value of VOIdx less than VOIdxMax) that may be referred to through inter-view prediction in decoding the view component with VOIdx equal to VOIdxMax. Such a picture parameter set RBSP is referred to as active view picture parameter set RBSP for the particular value of VOIdx. The restrictions on active picture parameter set RBSPs also apply to active view picture parameter set RBSPs for a particular value of VOIdx less than VOIdxMax. When a picture parameter set RBSP (with a particular value of pic parameter_set_id) is not the active picture parameter set RBSP and it is referred to by a coded slice NAL unit with VOIdx equal to VOIdxMax (using that value of ic_parameter_set_id), it is activated. This picture parameter set RBSP is called the active picture parameter set RBSP until it is deactivated when another picture parameter set RBSP becomes the active picture parameter set RBSP. A Rec. ITU-T H.264 (01/2012) picture parameter set RBSP, with that particular value of pic_parameter_set_id, shall be available to the decoding process prior to its activation. When a picture parameter set RBSP (with a particular value of pic parameter_set_id] is not the active view picture parameter set for a particular value of VOIdx less than VOIdxMax and it is referred to by a coded slice NAL unit with the particular value of VOIdx (using that value of pic parameter_set_id) it is activated for view components with the particular value of VOIdx. This picture parameter set RBSP is called
