A system may include a modulator configured to generate a modulated data stream of samples from an input signal wherein each value of data in the modulated data stream when encoded is represented by a multi-bit code, wherein the modulator comprises a quantizer configured to quantize the modulated data stream from the input signal and feed back the modulated data stream as a feedback signal to an input of the modulator and a memory configured to store one or more samples of the modulated data stream.

In a method of encoding a video sequence into a bitstream, an encoder determines, based on a value of a first encoded flag, whether to encode a second flag into the bitstream. The first flag indicates whether sign data hiding is turned off at a slice level for a video frame. The second flag indicates whether transform skip residual coding is turned off at the slice level for the video frame.
