Network-based AV Systems
Network-based AV Systems use standard IT networks to distribute audio and video signals across rooms, floors, and entire enterprise environments, offering a scalable and future-proof alternative to traditional AV matrix setups. By leveraging Ethernet infrastructure, these systems allow organisations to route content anywhere on the network—making it easy to support meeting rooms, training spaces, digital signage, auditoriums, and control rooms without complex point-to-point cabling.
These systems typically combine encoders, decoders, AV-over-IP switches, and management platforms to deliver high-resolution video (1080p, 4K, or higher) with low latency and reliable performance. Features like multicast streaming, centralised control, VLAN segmentation, and QoS prioritisation help IT and AV teams manage large deployments efficiently. Because the entire system runs on standard network hardware, adding new displays or sources becomes as simple as connecting another device to the network—making expansion quick and cost-effective.
Network-based AV setups are widely used in enterprises, universities, hospitality venues, retail chains, and mission-critical environments that require flexible, always-on content distribution. They support everything from live presentations and room-to-room sharing to enterprise-wide displays and integrated control systems.
