Why Network AV Solutions Must Adhere to Enterprise Ip Networking Standards
Originally posted on pro.harman.com on 4/5/2021
Technologies that enable the transportation of audio and video signals over standard IP networks have created a momentous shift in AV system designs. The flexibility and scalability of Network AV (NAV) solutions, such as AMX’s SVSI N-Series encoders and decoders or DSPs that leverage AES67 or Dante, enable integrators to design AV systems that better meet the needs of their customers than any other distribution technology.
Unlike traditional fixed-matrix or card-frame switchers, NAV solutions are not bound to a pre-defined minimum or maximum matrix size. Thanks to that scalability, NAV solutions are being used in every type of application. From point-to-point configurations for huddle spaces to campus-wide installations with hundreds of endpoints, audio and video over IP solutions are becoming the norm.
