About AV over IP
Sending video across lengthy cables is now not required, because you can guarantee the quality of images and video sent accross regular CAT 5/6 cable.
You can send 4K video and audio through technology called HDBaseT, which utilises a sender and a receiver at either end of a CAT 6 Network cable. There is a theoretical length limit of 150m though for this technology, so this is where AV over IP comes in.
AV Over IP is a technology that still consists of a transmitter and a receiver, however these two devices can be connected anywhere on a network, and they both have their own IP address.
Because the transmitter and the receiver are addressable and connect anywhere on the network, there is no theoretical distance limit in terms of sending audio and video.
The other benefit is that logging and monitoring systems can monitor the uptime and performance of these devices. Some systems even have monitoring apps that can be used in conjunction with those devices.
Even video routing can be dynamically allocated via an app.

FAQs
AV over IP FAQs
Common questions we are asked. Need something else? Get in touch.
What is AV over IP?
AV over IP sends audio and video signals over a standard network using encoders and decoders, instead of dedicated video cabling and matrix switchers.
What are the benefits of AV over IP?
It scales easily, lets any source be routed to any display, reuses network infrastructure and makes it simpler to add rooms or displays later.
Does AV over IP need a separate network?
It depends on the platform and bandwidth. Many systems run best on a dedicated or properly configured network with multicast support, which we plan with your IT team.
Where is AV over IP typically used?
Common uses include video walls, digital signage, sports bars and hospitality, lecture spaces, control rooms and multi-room distribution across a building.
