Is Avigilon Implementing H.264 SVC?
Since they implemented SVC in J2000, why does no one really think that the new HDSM is just their implementation of H.264 SVC? Have they, or their minions denied this outright? Pethaps the only reason that AV has drug its feet so long on deprecating J2000 is that they needed to have the H.264 SVC functionality in place first.

H.264 SVC has been available for a long time. The issue is implementing it inside of a camera and specifically at higher resolutions, where the processing power needed becomes immense.
I am sure Avigilon as well as many other manufacturers would like to do H.264 SVC for 4K / 8MP / 12MP / 16MP cameras. The problem is that no encoder supplier supports it at anywhere near those resolution / frame rate levels.
For example, look at the Ambarella S2, a 4K encoder chip popular with surveillance manufacturers. No mention of SVC support but there is a note about "Up to 8 simultaneous stream encodes" which is what a number of people suspect Avigilon is using.
I don't think they are doing H.264 SVC and nothing that I have heard from them, or their minions, indicates that it is.
Minions, please confirm or deny.
