AV-over-IP Switches
AV-over-IP Switches are network switches engineered to distribute high-quality audio and video signals over standard IP networks. Instead of relying on traditional matrix switchers, AV-over-IP solutions use Ethernet infrastructure to route content across rooms, floors, or entire buildings, making them far more scalable and flexible for modern AV deployments. These switches ensure low latency, stable bandwidth, and smooth transmission, which are essential for digital signage, meeting rooms, control rooms, lecture halls, and enterprise-wide AV systems.
Designed for high performance, AV-over-IP switches support features like multicast routing, VLAN segmentation, QoS prioritisation, and PoE/PoE+ power delivery, helping integrators deploy encoders, decoders, cameras, and displays with cleaner cabling and simpler management. They are commonly used in combination with platforms such as Crestron NVX, AMX SVSi, ZeeVee, and other IP-based audiovisual ecosystems, ensuring reliable distribution of 1080p, 4K, and even 8K content across managed networks.
Businesses and institutions choose AV-over-IP because it allows them to scale AV systems without replacing hardware, support multiple content sources, and manage everything centrally through network monitoring tools. This makes it ideal for corporate offices, education campuses, hospitality spaces, retail environments, and broadcast-style operations needing flexible, future-proof AV infrastructure.
