Media Transcoding Gateway Vendor Examples

This list highlights the vendors that handle media transcoding between Lync and third-party endpoints:

Cisco Advanced Media Gateway—The Cisco AMG is an expensive, hardware-based transcoding device.

LifeSize UVC—The LifeSize UVC platform is considered a media quality “helper” more than a gateway. The UVC virtual platform is not a single point of failure and enables the call to continue even if it is not available.

Radvision—The SCOPIA Video Gateway includes the ability to transcode between H.264 and RTVideo codecs. Multiple gateways can be placed together to add capacity as needed.
