In the following article, we introduce the Digital Signage and Video Wall systems from Userful. However, in addition to a media transmission management software, it is essential to understand the entire infrastructure that will be used for transmission to the video terminals, and for that, the concept of AV-over-IP is fundamental.
The term AV-over-IP (Audio-Visual-Over-IP) is used in the process of transmitting video, audio, and control signals over internet cables. These systems are an evolution compared to the use of analog AV, as they allow for the distribution of media in more complex projects and over greater distances.
However, it is important to emphasize that AV-over-IP systems are not standardized and can differ significantly from one another. In some cases, systems may require a lot of hardware allocated solely for media transmission. However, there are systems like Userful's that utilize media transmission based on standards that eliminate the need for other hardware such as Decoders, Encoders, and Switches.
The image above provided by Userful illustrates in a simplified way how the AV-over-IP system from the brand works. You can see the various management and transmission platforms sending data to the Userful Software (which can be hosted on a server or in the cloud), and it performs the intelligent process of cross-referencing and transmitting data to the video terminals.
This specific type of AV-over-IP process simplifies projects and reduces costs by saving on the acquisition of allocated equipment.
