What has already proven successful in lighting and audio technology is now making its way into video technology. AV over IP enables an entirely new way of signal transmission. Where up to 32 cables were once required to achieve the same signal quality, a single fiber optic cable is now sufficient – powerful, flexible, and reliable.
Switching to network-based video technology brings numerous advantages to the way we work.
Greater flexibility in planning and implementation
Thanks to centralized signal distribution via IP-based networks, setups can be designed much more freely and creatively – independent of fixed cable lengths or physical limitations. They can also be flexibly expanded or modified as needed.
Faster and more efficient setups
Fewer cables mean shorter setup times. This not only conserves resources but also ensures smoother workflows during productions.
Reduction of hardware components
The new technology makes it possible to reduce the need for devices such as converters and matrix switchers.
Optimized pre-production preparation
Thanks to standardized network infrastructure, many processes can be prepared and tested in advance. This minimizes risks and increases planning reliability.
Use of existing infrastructure
AV over IP leverages existing network structures, making it not only efficient but also resource-friendly. In many cases, additional cabling can be significantly reduced. It also opens up new possibilities for routing signals across structural boundaries.
Reliable backup solutions
The new technology allows the setup of fully redundant systems. In the event of a failure, a seamless switch to a backup path is possible – without interruption and without any loss in quality.
The introduction of AV over IP marks a significant step toward the future for us. Fewer cables, more possibilities – and another example of how we at AMBION are rethinking technology.
