+   * In encoding and decoding, VP9 allows an input image frame be partitioned
+   * into separated vertical tile columns, which can be encoded or decoded
+   * independently. This enables easy implementation of parallel encoding and
+   * decoding. This control requests the encoder to use column tiles in
+   * encoding an input frame, with number of tile columns (in Log2 unit) as
+   * the parameter:
+   *             0 = 1 tile column
+   *             1 = 2 tile columns
+   *             2 = 4 tile columns
+   *             .....
+   *             n = 2**n tile columns
+   * The requested tile columns will be capped by encoder based on image size
+   * limitation (The minimum width of a tile column is 256 pixel, the maximum
+   * is 4096).
+   *
+   * By default, the value is 0, i.e. one single column tile for entire image.

+   * earlier ones, this allows the encoder to output data packets for tile rows
+   * prior to completely processing all tile rows in a frame, thereby reducing
+   * the latency in processing between input and output. The parameter
