In the case where image data of a super-high definition service is transmitted without scalable coding, image data suitable to own display capability in a receiver not supporting the super-high definition service can be easily obtained. A container in a predetermined format having a video stream including encoded image data is transmitted. Auxiliary information for downscaling a spatial and/or temporal resolution of the image data is inserted into the video stream. For example, the auxiliary information indicates a limit of accuracy for a motion vector included in the encoded image data. Further, for example, the auxiliary information identifies a picture to be selected at the time of downscaling the temporal resolution at a predetermined ratio.

An image or video processing method comprises receiving input data of a current block, mapping an MIP mode index to a default mode, and encoding or decoding the current block by referencing the default mode. Another image or video processing method comprises receiving input data of a current block coded or to be coded by an MIP mode, and parsing or signaling a transpose flag for the current block indicating whether transposing is applied in coding the current block. Reference samples of the current block are prepared from neighboring boundary samples according to the transpose flag. A matrix is selected to be multiplied to the reference samples to generate predicted samples. A transposing process is adaptively applied to the current block according to the transpose flag, and the predicted samples are used to encode or decode the current block.
