Abstract

There is disclosed a system that, when in operation, encodes an input signal provided to an encoder to provide corresponding encoded data, wherein the encoded data is communicated via a data communication network to at least one decoder that decodes the encoded data to regenerate a rendition of the input signal that is output from the at least one decoder; the system is characterized in that the encoder computes and encodes at least one portion or at least one lower resolution layer of the encoded data and communicates the at least one portion or at least one lower resolution layer to the decoder concurrently as the encoder computes and encodes at least one other portion or at least one higher resolution layer of the encoded data for later communication to the at least one decoder, so that the encoder and the at least one decoder function temporally concurrently when processing a given image frame included in the input signal.
