Advantages of AV over IP Solutions

Posted By Sales Team on October 2025

What is AV over IP?

AV over IP is a way to send audio and video signals over a standard network, like the one your computer or smart TV connects to. Instead of relying on bulky cables for each device, AV over IP uses your network to deliver content efficiently.

For example, imagine a sports bar with multiple TVs showing different games. With AV over IP, the bar can easily switch between channels or display the same game across all screens without running individual cables to each TV. It's a smart and flexible solution that makes managing multiple displays a breeze!

AV over IP offers many key advantages compared to non-networked point-to-point or point-to-multi-point solutions.
