av over ip
DESCRIPTION
Why install new cabling for digital signage or AV signal distribution when you can use existing network infrastructure? This presentation explains the benefits of AV over IP applications verses traditional AV extension and distribution technologies.TRANSCRIPT

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.
