Why Choose AV Over IP
Scales without rewiring
Add sources and displays as the estate grows. Because distribution rides on the network you already have, expansion is a switch port rather than a new cable run through the building.
Any source to any display
Route anything anywhere across the network, over distances that HDMI and SDI cannot reach. One design covers a floor, a building or a whole campus.
Centralised control
Manage every endpoint from a single interface, with the monitoring and access control that a distributed system needs to stay supportable.
Built to be upgraded
4K, HDR and uncompressed formats are supported today, and the standards-based approach means tomorrow's hardware drops into the same infrastructure.

What does AV over IP mean?
AV over IP stands for Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol, which means audio and visual signals are sent over a network via standard Ethernet cables and switches. This method replaces older, more traditional AV methods like HDMI or SDI cables, which might require more dedicated infrastructure, limited cable lengths, and less flexibility in routing signals across multiple locations or devices. Due to a faster transmission time for data, AV over IP has many use cases. Some examples by industry include: Corporate: meeting room integration with seamless video conferencing and screen sharing Healthcare: remote consultation and broadcasting updates to waiting rooms Education: video distribution for lectures, events, or announcements Entertainment: live event broadcasting to screens throughout a venue

How can I implement AV over IP in my home/business?
To implement AV over IP in your home or business requires a few considerations, from your network speed and number of devices to the type of video quality and compatible gear you require. Once you’ve selected the right products and cables, begin by connecting them to your network using Ethernet cables. Next, use a network switch to manage signal routing, and finally, set up a software interface or control system to easily manage and operate your new AV over IP system.
Let us take care of the setup and deployment, so you can focus on what matters most—supporting your team’s success. Contact us today for all of your specific set up details and requirements.
What is the difference between AV over IP and HDBaseT?
The main difference between AV over IP and HDBaseT is that AV over IP provides broad, scalable signal distribution, whereas HDBaseT is a simpler, direct cable solution ideal for short, fixed AV links.
AV over IP uses standard IP network, Ethernet, to send video and audio signals, which means it is highly scalable and flexible, able to multiple devices. HDBaseT transmits signals over a single Cat5e/6 cable, which makes it limited to shorter distances up to 100 meters.

What is the best AV over IP encoder and decoder?
The best AV over IP encoder and decoder depends on your needs, such as the video resolution you require (HD or 4K), the number of devices you want to connect, the distance the signals need to travel, or whether you need low latency for real-time content. Your network capacity is another key factor to decide the best encoder and decoder for you.
To get started, you can browse trusted brands on our website that offer encoders and decoders to match your budget.
