Usage Scenarios (1/2)

• Video and audio streams go through different paths and integrated into a single AV session at the destination;

• The I, B and P frames of an MPEG video stream go through different paths and integrated into a single MPEG video at the destination; The devices can determine to accept one or more streams depending on their capability.
