It's between headends. Or to be more precise between the superhead and local ones. It enables them to update VOD faster and simultaneously to multiple sites.

Personally I can't see SDV being deployed to homes for many years yet, why would they need to? VM have huge capacity and with upgrades to existing technologies (docsis3/mpeg4/dvb-c2) vm can increase capacity to a much greater magnitude without deploying sdv to the front end.
