Advantages

• MAC syatems have better performance as compared to that of the composite video signal.
• In the MAC signal the cross interference between the luminance and the chrominance signals is completely eliminated as these signals are separated and not interleaved.
• This packet format is highly flexible and can offer many services
• We can introduce encryption with the help of the MAC signal and thus improve the security.
• MAC can provide multiple sound channels.
• It is possible to achieve high performance using MAC signal.
• It is possible to achieve high resolution using this signal.
• MAC system can be adapted into various formats for different purposes.

Disadvantages

• The overall channel bandwidth is reduced to a great extent, upto $50 \%$
