In general, the disclosure relates to encoding and decoding a block of video data associated with three-dimensional (3D) video. A video coding device determines whether a depth condition associated with the block of video data should be set to valid within a coded bitstream. When the depth condition should be set to valid, the video coding device sets the depth condition to valid and encodes the block of video data using at least one camera parameter. The video coding device then determines whether the depth condition is valid. When the depth condition is valid, the video coding device decodes the block of video data using at least one camera parameter.
