Claim 0:
1. A method of processing configuration data, the method comprising:
obtaining residual data based on a first representation of an image at a first level of quality in a tiered hierarchy having multiple levels of quality and a second representation of the image at the first level of quality, the second representation being based on a representation of the image at a second, lower level of quality in the tiered hierarchy, the residual data being useable by a decoder to reconstruct the first representation using the second representation;
obtaining first and second configuration data relating to processing of the residual data, the first configuration data relating to a first set of one or more decoders having a first operating characteristic and the second configuration data relating to a second set of one or more decoders having a second operating characteristic;
generating a configuration message comprising a header part and a payload part, the payload part comprising a first payload portion and a second, subsequent payload portion, the first payload portion comprising the first configuration data and the second payload portion comprising the second configuration data, the header part comprising a payload size parameter indicative of a total size of the first and the second payload portions; and
outputting the configuration message for processing by the decoder to enable the decoder to reconstruct the first representation using one or both of the first configuration data and the second configuration data.
