An apparatus configured to code video information includes a memory unit and a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit is configured to store video information associated with a reference layer (RL) and an enhancement layer, the RL comprising an RL picture having an output region that includes a portion of the RL picture. The processor is configured to determine whether a condition indicates that information outside of the output region is available to predict a current block in the enhancement layer. The processor may encode or decode the video information.
