he variable as a requirement of bitstream conformance to the profile at the specified level. Otherwise, the table entry specifies the value of the variable for the associated limit that is imposed as requirement of bitstream conformance to the profile at the specified level. For purposes of comparison of level capabilities, a level shall be considered to be a lower (higher) level than some other level if the level appears nearer to the top (bottom) row of Table A-1 than the other level. In bitstreams conforming to the Baseline, Constrained Baseline, Main, or Extended profiles, the conformance of the bitstream to a specified level is indicated by the syntax elements level_idc and constraint_set3_flag as follows: If level ide is equal to 11 and constraint_set3_flag is equal to 1, the indicated level is level 1b. Otherwise (level_idc is not equal to 11 or constraint_set3_flag is not equal to 1), level_idc is equal to a value of ten times the level number (of the indicated level) specified in Table A-1. Rec.
