1. A method for generating a digital video stream in a video stream generator comprising a video stream receiver unit and a video encoder, wherein the video stream generator generates a container video stream containing a plurality of independently encoded regions, the method comprising:
receiving by said [ the ] video stream receiver unit three or more component video streams from a plurality of video sources;
mapping said [ by the video encoder the ] three or more component video streams to three or more independently decodable regions;
entering by said [ the ] video encoder a signalling [ signal ] indicating a presence of corresponding three or more independently decodable regions , [ ; ]
entering by said [ the ] video encoder a signalling indicating an association between each of said [ the ] three or more component video streams and each of said [ the ] three or more independently decodable regions, whereby any of said [ the ] three or more component regions [ component video streams ] can be associated with any of said [ the ] three or more independently decodable regions in an independent way , [ ; ] and
outputting a digital video stream comprising said [ the signal, the ] signalling [ and the container video stream] .
