• SuperOP! 2011 event will host an ad-hoc meeting for forming a SVC Activity Group:
  
  SVC has been gaining considerable interest in the video communications industry, with most companies having announced support for it in current or future products. At the same time, there is on-going standardization activity in SVC and related subjects in UCIF as well as the IETF. SVC is currently covered by two standards, the H.264 coding specification and the IETF RTP payload format for SVC (to become RFC 6190). Beyond the SDP offer/answer parameters defined in the payload format, however, it is becoming apparent that the architectural changes made possible by scalable (including simulcast) coding require corresponding signalling support. This meeting will explore these issues and discuss the possibility of creating an SVC AG within IMTC’s Requirements Group to address these new architectures.”
