Moving AV over IP
The trend for audio and video system transforming from traditional Matrix Switch infrastructure to industry standard IP-based network technology is growing rapidly. Utilizing the strength of the standardized IP-based infrastructures and its agility, networked AV can fit into a wide variety of systems, ranging from classrooms, sports bars and even to larger and more complex transmission systems such as central control rooms and large outdoor video wall displays.
For traditional AV system integrators, using Networked AV technology is a relatively new concept; the biggest challenge is that they are less familiar with the IP-based network settings, especially with IGMP. Detailed IGMP parameters could easily be ignored which results in a major impact to system performance.
Zyxel, a professional Ethernet switch provider, partners with Pro-AV and IT devices manufacturers to deliver a top quality high-definition audio and video experience with professional guidance to alleviate integration efforts.
Challenges of AV over IP
Traditional AV channels focuses more on AV systems and are usually less familiar with IP networking.
Improper network setting degrades streaming performance as well as user experience.
Pro-AV vendors tend to be limited to use only “Certified Networking Products” to maintain their familiarity with network setup. This weakens their flexibility to adopt to more cost- effective network solutions.
