July 15, 2024 - In the world of AV distribution, Lightware Visual Engineering stands at the forefront, offering innovative solutions to meet the evolving demands of modern connectivity. As the industry shifts towards AV over IP technology, Lightware's comprehensive range of solutions caters to networks of varying speeds, from 1 Gb to 10 Gb Ethernet.
AV over IP offers numerous benefits, including scalability, which is one of its primary advantages. Unlike traditional AV matrix switches, Ethernet networks provide virtually unlimited size. AV over IP enables asymmetric setups, allowing for flexible configurations of input and output ports in the virtual matrix environment. Furthermore, this technology leads to cost savings by utilizing a single cable installation and transmitting AV signals as data packets, reducing costs and complexity.
Explore the innovative capabilities of Lightware's offerings and unlock new horizons in multimedia transmission, available for both 1G and 10G Ethernet networks.
Lightware's VINX and Gemini products are recognized as leading-edge solutions for 1G AV over IP transmission.
VINX, an integral part of Lightware's lineup, seamlessly integrates into 1G Ethernet networks. It offers effortless distribution of high-definition audio and video signals across diverse endpoints. The product line’s robust architecture and user-friendly interface ensure seamless integration into existing infrastructure, providing users with a hassle-free solution for multimedia distribution.
Based on the success of the VINX, Lightware is developing its new 4K AV over IP solution, Gemini GVN, which features seamless switching and lower power consumption. This solution will be available at the end of Q2. The Gemini GVN redefines expectations by delivering breathtaking 4K60 4:4:4 image quality over 1G Ethernet networks, surpassing traditional matrix systems in performance and scalability.
Lightware also leads in 10G AV over IP solutions with UBEX, HDMI-TPN, and Taurus TPN. These products harness 10G Ethernet networks for superior audio and video quality, offering flexibility and scalability.
Lightware’s UBEX boasts support for ultra-high-definition 4K resolution at 60Hz, along with HDCP 2.2 compliance. UBEX ensures crystal-clear visuals with uncompromised security. With a low-latency transmission, and support for multiple audio formats including Dolby Atmos, UBEX delivers an immersive audiovisual experience mostly for the live event sector.
Lightware's HDMI-TPN series are SDVoE-compatible devices that extend HDMI 2.0 video, audio, and control signals over 10G Ethernet networks, facilitating seamless multimedia distribution. With features like USB 2.0 transmission, remote power delivery, HDMI 4K signal support, HDR, and Dolby Vision compatibility, they redefine the standard for AV transmission, ensuring a comprehensive solution for immersive multimedia experiences.
Lightware’s newest development is the next generation of Taurus TPN devices with SDVoE technology and USB-C connectivity. It enables partners to build media-over-IP systems supporting HDMI 2.0 signals up to 4K60 4:4:4 resolution and full-bandwidth USB 2.0, connecting multiple sources to multiple destinations over 10G Ethernet networks. After the company displayed the Taurus TPN prototype at ISE, it generated massive awareness and pre-orders as an ultimate and future-proof solution for larger conference rooms and boardrooms. The product will be available at the end of Q3.
Whatever Lightware product you choose, you can trust that you are investing in the future of multimedia distribution.
