Welcome to AVoverIPPro.com
AVoverIPPro.com is the leading website and blog dedicated to the new, disruptive and empowering technology of AV over IP.
We focus on AV over IP as an overall technology offering and view it as a business solution, rather than being tied-in to any particular manufacturer’s offering or ‘version’ of it. This allows us to fulfil our mission: To simply to supply you with the tools and information to help you decide if AV over IP can help you satisfy - or even over-deliver - on your or your customer’s AV distribution needs (hint: in almost 99.9% of cases, it does!) We then aim to guide you through what the best options are for you.
We are confident that we can to do this with you because, unlike the traditional methods of distributing AV where vendor specific, proprietary equipment like matrix switches, line cards and cabling are used to send signals around an installation, AV over IP does this more easily, efficiently and cost-effectively using a tried-and-tested, standard-based infrastructure – and one that probably exists at the installation already - the IP network.
Utilising the reliability, flexibility and simplicity of the IP, setup and deployment times are significantly reduced when using AV over IP systems. There are many reasons for this, not least one being the simple setup of network switches for multicast configuration in order to handle video and audio distribution. In contrast a proprietary matrix system requires specialised programming. In addition, AV over IP devices can be centrally managed and monitored as they are after all, simply just IP devices on the network.
It’s no secret that virtually everything that can, is moving to IP – and AV distribution is moving there faster than most. Don’t get left behind.
