A method for inverse quantization of a current block of a picture, the method comprising: receiving a bitstream; obtaining a joint chrominance component residual, JCCR, control flag from the bitstream; obtaining a chrominance mapping information from the bitstream based on the JCCR control flag; obtaining at least one chrominance quantization parameter, QP, offset from the bitstream based on the JCCR control flag; obtaining a QP value for the current chrominance block based on the obtained chrominance mapping information and the at least one obtained chrominance QP offset; performing inverse quantization on the current chrominance block by using the obtained QP value.
