Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present disclosure are related to dynamic control of pixel color formats. In one embodiment, more than one pixel color format is used to encode a single scene within a video stream. This may be done for various reasons. For example, the available transmission bandwidth may change, thus leading to a change in the pixel color format where the new pixel color format uses a different amount of transmission bandwidth. Alternately, different regions within a scene may be encoded using different pixel color formats due to differences in their content. A highly detailed, vibrantly color region may be encoded using a richer color space and more bits per pixel, while a flat monotone region may be encoded using a pixel color format with fewer bits per pixel.
