8. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least: determine a frequency of occurrence threshold based on an expected frequency of occurrence of syntax elements in a bit stream; categorize a plurality of syntax elements of video content into first and second categories based on the frequency of occurrence threshold, wherein syntax elements which occur greater than the frequency of occurrence threshold are categorized into the first category and syntax elements which occur less than the frequency of occurrence are categorized into the second category; entropy code symbols that correspond to the first category of syntax elements and that have been subjected to a context update; and entropy code symbols that correspond to the second category of syntax elements and that have bypassed context updating.
