Control logic determines when a network condition has changed by evaluating network condition data. Based on a detected network condition change, the control logic reorders an encoder parameter controller execution sequence of a plurality of encoder parameter controllers. The control logic configures the plurality of reordered encoder parameter controllers so that an encoder parameter determination from a prior encoder parameter controller is used as a decision input for a subsequent encoder parameter controller. An encoder encodes data, such as audio data, video data or other type of data using the generated encoder control parameters from the reordered plurality of encoder parameter controllers. A related method is also disclosed.
