1. A method, implemented by an apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving a media manifest file identifying a plurality of representations of a light field video content comprising a plurality of sub-views of an integral light field image, at least a first representation of the plurality of representations comprising a first subset of sub-views of the plurality of sub-views and at least a second representation of the plurality of representations comprising a second subset of sub-views of the plurality of sub-views,
wherein the first and second subsets of sub-views each comprise multiple sub-views of the plurality of sub-views, and
wherein the second subset of sub-views is different from the first subset of sub-views;
selecting a representation from the plurality of representations;
retrieving the selected representation; and
rendering content to a display of the apparatus based on the retrieved selected representation.
