AV

AV-over-IP Defined

AV-over-IP is the transport of AV signals over a standard Ethernet network, including…

HD Video (e.g. HDMI, DVI) Audio Control Signals (e.g. IR) Peripheral Signals (e.g. USB)

Eliminate port limits

Why AV-over-IP? Scalability!

Distribute content from a single sourceto hundreds of displays

Why AV-over-IP? Flexibility!

Deploy (and power) AV infrastructure

over Ethernet

Why AV-over-IP? Distance!

No distance limitationsSend video as far as your network reaches

Why AV-over-IP? Image Quality!

Lossless video and ultra-low latency

Why AV-over-IP? Cost Savings!

No need to install separate cabling

Use existing networking equipment

Avoid using expensive electrical contractors

AV-over-IP Applications

• Corporate/Educational Campuses

• Hospitality

• Digital Signage

• Conference Rooms

• Smart Home AV distribution

• Professional AV Broadcast

Transmit HD-video wherever Ethernet network technology is available!

AV-over-IP vs. HDBaseT

AV-over-IP HDBaseTCabling CAT5e, 6, 6a CAT6 (shielded)

Network Standard Ethernet Dedicated cable runs

Multi-cast Yes No

Video signal Lossless compression Uncompressed

Bandwidth requirement <150 Mbps 6 Gbps

Distance Unlimited* 330 ft.

Number of displays UnlimitedDepending on number of ports on transmitter

Cost for 1:8 application $3300 $5000

AV-over-IP solutions provide a compelling alternative to overlay technologies like HDBaseT

*330 ft. per segment, add switches or use fiber to extend

AV-over-IP networking

What is multicasting?• One-to-many communication over network

infrastructure

• IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)

• Using only a single stream saves bandwidth

Choosing networking equipment• Pick good quality switches supporting Gigabit

and IGMP snooping.

• For optional remote powering add PoE.
