Scalable Video Coding
The best way to provide people with a better video conferencing experience is to
start out with better technology right from the beginning. This means that Vidyo’s
intellectual property, Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is absolutely vital when communicating
over converged IP networks. SVC allows the delivery of a quality video conferencing
experience to all participants regardless of their location, making HD video conferencing
available to everyone using a network that is good enough for web browsing. By contrast,
traditional video conferencing systems are highly sensitive to packet loss as dropped
frames add significant latency, which in turn makes for blurred motion and choppy
images on the receiving end. As a consequence, other systems break with as little
as a 5% packet loss.
