In recent years, the convergence of audio-visual (AV) technology and networking has sparked a transformative revolution in the form of AV over IP (Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol). This paradigm shift is reshaping how AV content is distributed, managed, and consumed across various environments, from corporate offices and educational institutions to large-scale entertainment venues. This blog delves into AV over IP, its benefits, and some of the leading solutions in the market, such as Netgear’s AV Line Switches, which have been designed explicitly for AVoverIP. Then, there are the manufacturers who have developed encoders and detectors. Popular options include Blustream, ZeeVee, Crestron, AMX and many more.
