Abstract:
1. A multimedia processing engine comprising: a coding decision component comprising: a plurality of functionality evaluator/estimators each receiving one or more functionalities from a functionality input, evaluating the received functionalities for multimedia data based on objective and/or subjective criteria, and creating a value result for each criterion; a comparator which determines an encoding functionality for encoding multimedia data by comparing the value results of the criteria for each functionality and/or the overall measure of each functionality; and which determines a decoding functionality corresponding to the encoding functionality by comparing the value results of the criteria for each functionality and/or the overall measure of each functionality; said multimedia processing engine further comprising: an encoder that encodes the multimedia data using the determined encoding functionality; and a processing unit that prepares the encoded multimedia data and the determined decoding functionality for communication to a decoder, wherein said decoding functionality includes syntax elements for reconfiguring the decoder.
