Does SX20, MX200G2 and MX300G2 consume same bandwidth like the SX80/MX700/MX800?

Guys,

As I understand SX80/MX700/MX800 has H.265 codec implemented and then have half bandwidth consumed compared to older codecs. I noticed for a while most Cisco video conferencing codec including SX20,MX200G2/MX300G2 data sheet has bandwidth information updated with 720p30 with 768kbps. Does that mean SX20 series support H.265 also? Or it's just Cisco datasheet mistake?

In addition, when these codec supporting H.265 talk to MCU or webex CMR, they will still use double bandwidth because the other end doesn't support H.265 yet, correct?

Thanks.

H.265 is only supported on SX80/MX700/MX800 and only when using SIP.

Once you call a device, or introduce a device into the call which does not support H.265, well, then it's not going to use it.

720p30 at 768kps is not full HD, so it's not a mistake.

1080p is full HD, and for that to happen you will need much higher bandwidth, and this is where the full benefits of H.265 kicks in which may give you full HD at a much lower bandwidth.
