Hypothetical Reference Decoder is a hypothetical decoder model that specifies constraints on the variability of conforming network abstraction layer unit streams or conforming byte streams that an encoding process may produce. High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) builds upon and improves the design of the generalized hypothetical reference decoder of H.264/ AVC. This paper describes some of the main improvements of hypothetical reference decoder of HEVC.
