ed by invoking the sub-bitstream extraction process as specified in clause G.8.8.1 with dIdTarget being equal to 0 and qIdTarget being equal to 0 and the base layer bitstream being the output. NOTE - Although all scalable bitstreams that conform to one or more of the profiles specified in this annex contain a base layer bitstream that conforms to one or more of the profiles specified in Annex A, the complete scalable bitstream (prior to operation of the base layer extraction process specified in this clause) may not conform to any profile specified in Annex A. Parsing process Inputs to this process are bits from the RBSP, a request for a value of a syntax element, and values of prior parsed syntax elements (if applicable). Output of this process is the value of the syntax element. This process is invoked for all syntax elements in the syntax tables in clause G.7.3 with descriptors equal to u(v), ue(v), me(v), se(v), te(v), ce(v), and ae(v). When the parsing process is invoked for the first request for a value of a syntax element in the slice data and entropy_coding_mode_flag is equal to 1, the following ordered steps apply: 1. The initialisation process as specified in clause 9.3.1 is invoked, where a slice_type equal to EI is interpreted as I, a slice_type equal to EP is interpreted as P, and a slice_type equal to EB is interpreted as B. The initialisation process as specified in clause G.9.3.1 is invoked. Depending on entropy_coding_mode_flag and the descriptor, the value of a syntax element is derived as follows: If entropy_coding_mode_flag is equal to 0, the following applies: 1. The parsing process for syntax elements coded as coded as ue(v), se(v), or te(v) is specified in clause 9.1. 2. The parsing process for the syntax element coded_block_pattern is specified in clause G.9.1. 3. The parsing process for syntax elements of the residual_block_cavle() syntax structure is specified in clause G.9.2. Otherwise (entropy_coding_mode_flag is equal to 1), the value of the syntax element is derived as follows: If th
