AV over IP installations are growing. We explore the best way to manage the AV network and what is needed from both IT and AV to work in conjunction on the AV network. We review how to transmit quality 4K video imaging and audio over a 1GB network and look at the needs of both IT and AV from their perspective. We discuss network clocking, bandwidth, latency and how to create simple routing of audio and video for precise synchronization. We explore management tools that benefit IT and AV to assure interoperability of manufacturers in the “AV over IP” space.
