Abstract
Innovations described herein provide a framework for advertising encoder capabilities, initializing encoder configuration, and signaling run-time control messages for video coding and decoding. For example, an encoding controller receives a request for encoder capability data from a decoding host controller, determines the capability data, and sends the capability data in reply. The capability data can include data that indicate a number of bitstreams, each providing an alternative version of input video, as well as data that indicate scalable video coding capabilities. The decoding host controller creates stream configuration request data based on the encoder capability data, and sends the configuration request data to the encoding controller. During decoding, the decoding host controller can create and send a control message for run-time control of encoding, where the control message includes a stream identifier for a bitstream and layer identifiers for a given layer of the bitstream.
