AV over IP using MXNET for Higher Education

AV over IP using MXNET for Higher Education

Today, we want to share with you a recent project we completed that required a reliable and robust AV over IP video distribution solution. The project involved an auditorium, four combine/divide conference rooms, and three pre-function rooms.

Initially, our client had specified a separate matrix switched-based system, but due to past and ongoing supply chain issues, the original vendor was unable to deliver by the specified time. The client had already booked well in advance to shut down the center for the main system upgrade, so we had to come up with an alternative solution.

As an AV integrator, it is essential to have a reliable and robust solution for distributing audio and video over IP.

The MXNet ecosystem stands out because of its fast-switching capabilities, including 4K and format changes. This means that the end user can seamlessly switch between different video sources and resolutions without any delay or interruption. This feature is crucial for corporate, hospitality, government, financial, and in this case, higher education, where the need for fast and smooth transitions is paramount.

Another unique feature of MXNet is its ability to configure and execute an unlimited amount of video walls. This means that we can create large and complex video displays for the end user without any limitations. This feature is perfect for creating impressive and engaging visuals in any setting.

In addition, MXNet also offers extensive video format support, from 720p to 4K60 (4:4:4), with interlaced to progressive conversion. This means that we can work with a wide range of video formats, ensuring that our installations look great, no matter the source.

The MXNet ecosystem includes formatting such as resolution scaling, full EDID management, multifaceted video walls, and includes the MXNet MENTOR setup and control tool – making installations easy on our installation team, while also presenting a major WOW factor to the end user.

Furthermore, MXNet comes with a 10-year warranty, giving the client the peace of mind that their installation will be reliable and durable for years to come.

In conclusion, MXNet is an extremely good audio/video distribution method for any setting that requires fast, smooth transitions and unlimited video walls, while also providing an easy setup and control tool, along with a 10-year warranty.

We look forward to deploying this solution in upcoming projects.
