How it Works

An encoder is connected to an AV source signal [HDMI], [a camera, STB, media player, PC or Server, BluRay player, or digital signage player, etc.]. The signal is converted into a packetized network stream that’s compatible with off-the-shelf IGMP enabled Gigabit Ethernet [GbE] switches. Using existing Cat5e/6 infrastructure, users can connect Cat5e/6 to any decoder anywhere on the same GbE network. The decoder takes the IP packets received over Cat5e/6 cables, converts them back into an HDMI signal connecting directly to a display, delivering visually lossless video along with RS232 controls. Any signal from any encoder can be sent to any decoder on the same network.

Features

Single Main Gigabit LAN Port for 4K UHD Video, Dante™/AES67, Control, and Powered Device (PD)

• A single Ethernet port for Video over IP and Dante™/AES67 audio embedding and de-embedding, with VLAN tagging capability to separate Audio & Video network traffic as needed

Ethernet Expansion Port – Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)

• This port enables network connectivity for control and IP traffic pass-through to remote LAN devices (ex. displays, projectors, control touch-panels).
• The port can also be used to daisy-chain multiple endpoints for easy video wall creation or extend distances to displays

Power connected devices with PoE pass-through

• Encoders and Decoders only require standard PoE power (15w or lower), however, when PoE+ is supplied to the Main LAN port you can pass-through PoE power to devices connected to the Ethernet Expansion Port

Multiple selectable local input sources w/ HDMI loop-through (Encoder)

• 2 x HDMI® and 1 x USB-C input and 1 x HDMI output
• Switching between the three inputs can be performed automatically using auto-switching (input detect) mode, programmatically via a control system, or through a web browser
• HDMI loop-through: display any of the three locally connected sources

USB-C Connectivity

Encoder: USB-C Input

• Connect easily and share media from your Mac, Laptop, Tablet, Mobile, and Other USB-C enabled devices
• Note: Not all devices will be compatible; Source devices must support DisplayPort Alt Mode for USB Type-C or Thunderbolt

Decoder: USB-C Output

• Enables soft-codec integration via driverless USB 2.0 connection to a PC for web conferencing applications such as Zoom, Skype, Cisco WebEx, and Microsoft Teams
• Capture, record, and stream meetings, presentations, conference cameras, and security footage directly to your PC
• Dynamically switch and view decoder output on your PC for recording, editing, videoconferencing, and streaming applications
• Use the PC streaming software of your choice and live broadcast your signal to any online video platform
• Bridge Dante™/AES67 audio into soft-codec via USB-C
• Eliminate distance limitations with USB cables and extension – access right where you need it, close to every device that needs it
• USB Video Class (UVC) – compliant, a video capture standard that’s compatible with Mac OSX, Windows®, Linux® and Android operating systems
• Output Resolutions up to 1080p

Independent Routing

• Independently route all signals with the ability to separately matrix video, audio (including Dante™/AES67), USB, IR, and serial (RS-232)

Dante™/AES67 Audio embedding and de-embedding

• Supports digital and stereo analog audio

Dynamically Optimized (Adaptive) bit-rate compression CODEC w/ built-in AI

• Visionary’s highly efficient video compression codec is a modified full frame encoding that dynamically optimizes for fine lines (computer generated graphics) or motion video by using sophisticated AI to analyze the input source content. Actively matching the level of compression to a scene by leveraging periods of low motion video content reduces the stream’s size and enhances performance – enabling, without compromising image quality, Visually Lossless transmission of computer generated graphics or full-motion video sources
• Adjustable Video Bitrate: (50 – 200 Mbps or Auto [800Mbps max])

Enterprise Level Security

Enterprise applications demand a secure Network AV solution

• AES Stream Encryption – The Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, is a worldwide standard and was adopted as the standard encryption algorithm by the U.S. government for encrypting classified information
• HTTPS Secure API – Using secure SSL/TLS communications HTTPS provides integrity that a client is communicating with the real API and receiving back authentic data. It also ensures privacy for applications and users using the API
• 802.1x Authentication for Network access control – 802.1X provides a secure authentication mechanism for any device trying to access a network
• SSH Network Protocol – SSH is a network protocol used to remotely access and manage a device through command line communications. The key difference between Telnet (used by other AV over IP manufacturers) and SSH is that SSH uses encryption, which means that all data transmitted over a network is secure

Dynamic OSD text overlay capabilities

• The ability to overlay dynamic or fixed text on screen enables displaying of alerts, announcements, special instructions, clocks / timers, schedules, and other messaging

Mass Configuration

• Auto Discover all endpoints on the network, export to .CSV file (all configurable parameters included), make changes offline, upload .CSV file through embedded web page of encoder/decoder and push configuration to the network
• No external software required – mass configuration capabilities built into the endpoint embedded webpage UI
