Abstract
An encoding operation is implemented to encode one or more frames, for example, gaming frames into a gaming stream. The encoding operation includes decomposing a current frame into a base layer and an enhancement layer. The resulting base layer and enhancement layer are then each encoded to produce an encoded base layer and an encoded enhancement layer. The encoded enhancement layer is truncated, for example, according to a comparison of the sum of the size of the encoded base layer and encoded enhancement layer to a threshold value. In an example embodiment, a multiplexer combines the encoded base layer and truncated enhancement layer to produce the encoded frame. The encoded frame may then be transmitted as part of a stream to a client device.
