VIDEO OVER IP
WHAT IS VIDEO OVER IP?
Video Over IP (Internet Protocol), also called AV over IP or AVoIP, uses network infrastructure including LAN, WAN, Fibre Optic or the Internet to efficiently distribute high resolution video and audio content, and control signals. Video Over IP can transmit high quality, high bandwidth, signals over long distance with low latency.
HOW DOES VIDEO OVER IP WORK?
Streaming video or television broadcast content contains video, audio and supporting data that is broken down into several streams and then transported as individual packets of data over a network (LAN, WAN, Fibre Optic, etc.) to their destination. A synchronization technology called Precision Time Protocol (PTP) pieces together the packets once they have reached their destination. Traditional cabling such as HDMI sends data over through a proprietary cable which has limitations such as the length of cable before signal quality degrades.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES?
Highly Scalable
Easily expandable
Non-centralized Distribution
Ability to Transmit Over Long Distances
Very Low Latency
Supports Ethernet
