In an era where enterprise networks, smart buildings, and commercial spaces rapidly converge, the demand for robust AV solutions is at an all-time high. With the rise of multicast and point-to-multipoint AV distribution over increasing distances, as well as with streaming and remote capabilities, AV over IP is no longer a novelty but an essential technology.

Course Features

As IT professionals, you’re already witnessing the growth of 10G networks. Coupled with the reduced cost per port and market-driven innovations, including switches designed specifically for AV over IP, the transport of AV data is expanding and evolving. Low latency and visually lossless compression technologies have further enhanced this deployment.  
Moreover, the broadcast industry’s adoption of AV over IP, driven by SMPTE standards and the emergence of 25G networks for uncompressed signal transport, is accelerating the development of IP-native equipment and protocols. These trends foster unprecedented collaboration between AV and IT teams like yours. The need for cross-disciplinary knowledge and integration is clear.
