AV over IP Solutions
Intuitive. Intelligent. Integrated.
AV over IP (AVoIP) offers significant advantages over the way that an audio visual signal distribution has traditionally been handled.
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. In simple terms, this presents an easy-to-manage flexible solution to deliver high-quality audio, video and control signals over long distances.
What does it mean to your business?
AVoIP systems make it easier for your business to scale your audio visual solutions as you grow. Whether expanding office space, adding conference rooms, or deploying more displays for digital signage, AVoIP scales effortlessly by adding more endpoints.
AVoIP supports seamless integration with video conferencing, remote meetings, and unified communication platforms, facilitating better collaboration between team members, whether in-office or remote.
AVoIP systems can be managed from a single control interface, making it easier to monitor, manage, maintain, and secure audio-visual assets from a central location.

Benefits of AV over IP
Scalability
Flexible Expansion: AV over IP systems can be scaled up easily by adding more network components such as switches and endpoints without needing complex rewiring.
Adaptability: Accommodates a range of sizes, from small setups to large, complex installations spanning multiple locations.
Cost effective
Reduced Infrastructure Costs: Uses standard network cabling (e.g. Ethernet) and off-the-shelf network hardware.
Lower Installation Costs: Less labor-intensive as it leverages existing network infrastructure (if your bandwidth requirements are low) and equipment.
Additional security
Separate Network: 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.
Encryption: Most products provide encryption on the command-and-control signalling to encoder and decoder devices – this offers security against hacking such as turning streaming on or off, or switching what source is being displayed.
Flexibility & versatility
Multi-Purpose Network: A network-based system can accommodate a large number of devices and is only limited by the IP network it is connected to.
Multiple Formats and Resolutions: Supports various media formats and resolutions, making it adaptable for different use cases like streaming, digital signage, or conferencing.
Remote Access & Control
Remote Management: AV over IP can be controlled, monitored and maintained remotely, making it convenient for troubleshooting, updates, and administration without needing physical access to equipment.
Cloud Integration: Supports remote streaming and cloud-based content delivery, enabling flexible access from various locations.
Future proof
Easier Upgrades: Integrating new technologies into an AV over IP system is generally simpler because it uses an IT-based infrastructure.
Compatibility with Emerging Technologies: As new audio visual technologies develop, AV over IP systems are more adaptable compared to traditional matrix switchers.
