In a method for transmitting video for a display panel between a transmitter in electronic communication with a receiver over a wireless communication channel, the method includes: receiving, by a transmitter, a data signal from a data source; receiving, by the transmitter, a return signal from a receiver; encoding, by the transmitter based on the return signal, the data signal utilizing a plurality of encoder blocks to generate a layered encoded data stream, wherein a first encoder block encodes the data signal and each subsequent encoder block encodes a difference between an input of a preceding encoder block and an output of a quantizer of a preceding encoder block; and transmitting, by the transmitter, the layered encoded data stream to the receiver for decoding and display on the display panel.
