The main drawback of using scaled video today is that they are not interoperable with standards based video conferencing devices today. In order to deploy SVC devices into today’s heterogeneous networks requires either a SVC to AVC gateway or a SVC enabled MCU to connect the two worlds. There are significant differences in performance between these two solutions. Gateways can introduce delays and degradation in quality to standard based video conferencing devices and since today this is the vast majority of devices deployed this solution does not favor today’s environment. SVC enabled MCUs maintain high quality support for today’s standards based room systems and telepresence solutions while allowing interoperability with SVC devices.
