1. A video processing system comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit a video signal to a receiving device and configured to receive a device parameter indicative of an ability of the receiving device to process video; and a video selection module communicatively coupled to the transceiver to select, in accordance with the device parameter, a first digital format of the video signal to be transmitted by the transceiver to the receiving device; wherein the video signal is generated in the first digital format by transcoding from a second digital format wherein the second digital format includes a plurality of video streams including a base layer stream and at least one additional layer stream that enhances the base layer stream and wherein the transcoding includes synchronizing and combining selected ones of the plurality of video streams.
