The efficient compression of multi-view-video-plus-depth (MVD) data raises the bit-rate allocation issue for the compression of texture and depth data. This question has not been solved yet because not all surveys reckon on a shared framework. This paper studies the impact of bit-rate allocation for texture and depth data relying on the quality of an intermediate synthesized view. The results show that depending on the acquisition configuration, the synthesized views require a different ratio between the depth and texture bit-rate: between 40\% and 60\% of the total bit-rate should be allocated to depth.
