This is video for audio professionals.
Visionary’s PackeTV® and PacketAV® products can be deployed on any industry standard IP network. They can be used on existing enterprise IP networks or a physically separate parallel network [private network] to offload traffic, using the same network protocols, methods, and devices but without intermingling of video traffic with data or voice; with equal ease of installation.

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. The signals can easily be controlled with our Vision Lite software to create different outputs on the display side; including video wall or matrix switching.

Features
One Gigabit LAN Port for 4K UHD Video, Dante™/AES67, and Control
- 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
Balanced Audio Line Output on Rear Panel
- A rear-panel euro terminal block provides a stereo balanced audio output from Dante™ or de-embedded from HDMI
- This output can feed a variety of local devices to provide a specific line level output to users, or it may be used to directly feed an audio power amplifier in the associated audio zone
Fits conveniently into a 2-gang US or UK back box with no modification
- Can be easily mounted in a wall, lectern, or floor box using a standard 2-gang US & UK back box. (mounts into standard Decora style wallpaltes)
- Low Heat / Power: Natural convection via vent openings on front, sides, and top
45 Degree Ethernet connector
- allows easy access from any side of electrical boxes while providing bend radius relief for category cable
Independent Routing
- Independently route all signals with the ability to separately matrix video & Bluetooth audio (including Dante™/AES67)
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
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
LLDP Support
- Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a protocol used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a local area network based on IEEE 802 technology
- Allows for dynamic control of endpoints based on automatic discovery of physical location
QOS Support
- Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that prioritizes network traffic resulting in performance improvement for critical network traffic
Control
