1. A method operable by a video encoder, comprising: coding video data to form a bitstream having at least one layer and at least one layer set that specifies the at least one layer of the bitstream that is to be processed by a video decoder; associating at least one output layer set with each layer set, wherein the output layer set specifies the at least one layer that is to be output by the video decoder, wherein a first output layer set of the at least one output layer set indicates a subset of its associated layer set that is to be output by the video decoder and a second output layer set of the at least one output layer set indicates another subset of the associated layer set that is to be output by the video decoder; associating at least one partitioning scheme with the first output layer set and with the second output layer set of the at least one output layer set, wherein the at least one partitioning scheme specifies how the at least one layer of the bitstream is to be partitioned for transmission; performing a determination as to whether to signal conformance parameters as part of the bitstream, based at least in part on the video encoder or one or more encoder configuration settings, wherein the conformance parameters are used to detect a conformance of the bitstream; and in response to a determination to signal conformance parameters as part of the bitstream, mapping a first conformance parameter to a partition of a partitioning scheme among the at least one partitioning scheme, based at least in part on the first output layer set, and mapping a second conformance parameter to the partition of the partitioning scheme among the at least one partitioning scheme, based at least in part on the second output layer set.
