Video coding tree sub-block splitting. A parser and treeblock splitter is implemented for adaptive partitioning of treeblocks (TBs) into various respective sub-treeblocks (STBs). Such adaptation may be tailored for effectuating parallel processing in accordance with video decoding. Different respective decoding engines may each individually and respectively also perform further partitioning of the STBs into sub-STBs as well. Such adaptation of respective STB size and/or sub-STB size may be made based on local and/or remote consideration(s). For example, adaptation may be made based upon communication link and/or channel conditions, a remote characteristic (e.g., associated with a source device and/or destination device), a local characteristic (e.g., associated with operations and/or processing performed locally within a given device), and/or any other type of consideration. Different respective portions of a video signal may be processed using different respective sized STBs/sub-STBs (and different respective engines may also employ different respective sized STBs/sub-STBs).
