At its root, AV over IP is a method of distributing audio, video, control signals and more over a standard IP Network. Initially the technology was used in a variety of ProAV applications due to its low bandwidth characteristics, compatibility with existing network infrastructures and cost-efficient scalability for large footprint arrays. To send HD video signals from a single source to an infinite number of screens, HDMI over Ethernet, also known as HDMI over IP, takes advantage of the existing Ethernet infrastructure.

Professional video over IP systems employs a standard video codec to compress the program material into a bitstream, then transmitted over an IP network as a stream of IP packets.
However, AV over IP technology has evolved to include low and zero latency transmissions, seamless switching and lossless video quality supporting 4K UHD, high frame rates, 4:4:4 and HDR to become an increasingly viable alternative to conventional AV transmission over distance technologies for both residential and commercial applications.

OUR THREE TECHNOLOGIES
As there is no one AV over IP technology for all applications, you want to make sure you’re using the one best-suited for yours. Since 2014, we’ve channeled our extensive years of experience in AV over IP into our unique NetworkHD™ line, comprising of three distinct AV over IP technology platforms. With them all sharing the same installation and configuration experience, each series is designed for integrators to provide solutions perfectly tailored to their application.

H.264/H.265H.264 and H.265 are well-known video compression standards for high-definition digital video. H.264/H.265 is defined as a block-oriented, compensation-based video compression standard that defines multiple profiles and levels.

JPEG 2000JPEG 2000 uses state-of-the-art compression techniques and offers an extremely high level of scalability and accessibility. Content can be coded once at any quality, up to lossless, but accessed and decoded at a potentially very large number of other qualities and resolutions. |
SDVoESDVoE is an completely lossless, Zero latency means of AV over IP distribution. With unified audio, video and control at a lower price compared to HDBaseT, SDVoE meets the performance and bandwidth requirements of today, and more importantly, into the future.
