Media Relay - SVC Conferencing

Media Relay SVC Conferencing is based on the SVC (Scalable Video Codec) video protocol

and SAC audio protocol. It offers high resolution video conferencing with low end-to-end

latency, improved Error Resiliency and higher system capacities.

The Polycom multipoint media server, serves as an integrated media relay engine that

provides media streams for displaying conferences at low latency video experience in video

conferences. For more details, see , "SVC-based Conferencing" on page 2-9.

Mixed CP and SVC Conferencing

This type of conference enables participants with SVC-enabled endpoints and AVC

endpoints to participate in the same conference.

Each endpoint connects according to its capabilities. The MCU processes the AVC video

streams and converts them into SVC video Streams and relays them to the SVC participants

that constructs the video layout on the endpoint.

In the same way, the MCU processes the video streams received from the SVC participants,

converts them into AVC video and then transcodes all the video streams to compose the

video layout that is sent to the AVC endpoints.
