Name AV Over IP Compatibility & Scalability Q/A
Q: Can AV over IP integrate with existing AV equipment?
A: Yes, with encoders and decoders, AV over IP can work with HDMI, SDI, and other formats.
Q: What are the most common AV over IP protocols?
A:
- SDVoE – Low latency, high quality, requires 10GbE.
- NDI – Used in video production and live streaming.
- Dante AV – Focused on audio-visual synchronization.
- H.264/H.265 – Common for streaming applications.
Q: How scalable is an AV over IP system?
A: Very scalable. You can add new endpoints without the limitations of traditional matrix switchers.
Q: Does AV over IP support 4K and 8K video transmission?
A: Yes, but higher resolutions require more bandwidth (10GbE+ for uncompressed 4K, 25GbE+ for 8K).
Q: Can AV over IP handle audio and video separately?
Yes, protocols like Dante AV allow independent routing of audio and video streams.
Q: What software or controllers are needed to manage an AV over IP system?
A: Many vendors offer centralized control software, such as HDTV Supply, Crestron NVX, AMX SVSI, Extron NAV, and Q-SYS.
