The concept of Audiovisual (AV) over internet protocol (IP), or AV over IP, has been around for some time. For the University of Michigan, the idea of using IP in the facilities AV space is new.
AV over IP is the transmission of audio, video and control signals, distributed in real time without latency, over a network cable infrastructure, i.e. WAN, LAN or the internet. In comparison to conventional analogue AV environments, AV over IP refers to the use of standard network equipment to switch and transmit video and audio signals.
In a panel discussion format, AV and IT professionals from COE, ITS, LSA, Michigan Medicine, and Ross will share their experiences of installing AV equipment using AV over IP technology.
There are many details to be aware of when designing AV over IP-based systems. The panel will share information on how they implemented the technology into their networks, things to look out for, things to consider and references for more information.
