AV-over- IP (AVoIP) stands for “Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol”. It uses standard IT networking equipment to transmit audio visual data over the internet, LAN or WAN networks.

AV-over-IP solutions are expanding rapidly with the rise in remote working enabling businesses to extend their audio-visual solutions beyond the physical workspace and traditional meeting rooms.

It provides an easy to manage flexible solution to enable businesses to deliver high-quality audio, video and control signals over long distances. Common settings for AV-over-IP are universities, public spaces, stadiums, and large enterprises who deploy digital signage and IPTV.

A common misconception about migrating from hardwired AV to AV-over-IP is that the latter introduces more security risks than traditional AV. With more flexibility and new deployment options, education is the best ally to AV administrators.

Benefits of AV over IP

R

Cost saving

AVoIP reduces installation time as no additional complex cabling is required. AVoIP utilises existing networks and equipment (if your bandwidth requirements are low) and the costs for scaling up are also significantly less than alternative networks.

R

Additional security

  • AV-over-IP can be deployed on entirely segregated network (VLAN) that cannot communicate to the rest of the network such as the corporate data or communications network.
  • Most products provide encryption on the command-and-control signalling to encoder and decoder devices – this offers security against hacking the actions of the boxes—including turning streaming on or off, or switching what source is being displayed.
R

Manageable

  • Devices connected to an IP network can easily be monitored from a central platform, and can also be configured, updated remotely, serviced and maintained remotely.
  • Greater distance – AV over IP can be transmitted over fibre optic or copper cable easily.
R

High performance and scalability

A network-based system can accommodate a large number of devices and is only limited by the IP network it is connected to.
