SDVoE systems deliver AV processing capabilities far beyond that of a matrix switch. Many SDVoE devices include a powerful AV processing unit which enables advanced functionality that is [...]
AV professionals have relied on the matrix switch for over 90 years – since television was invented. In that time, the matrix switch has evolved advanced and useful features above and beyond mere [...]
Seven years ago I speculated right when I co-founded AptoVision. My intuition was telling me that pro AV needed to switch to signal distribution over Ethernet rather than continuing to use [...]
There are two well-known architectures used for switching electrical signals from sources to destinations: circuit switches and packet switches. A circuit switch is the simpler of the two. A [...]
If you type “color space” into Google and spend just 5 minutes of research, it gets really complicated really quickly, and yet in the world of pro AV we can’t avoid it. New terminology is [...]
Generally speaking, pro AV people know that fiber optic cables use light instead of electricity to carry signals, and if asked which is the most reliable option between copper and fiber, I [...]
I’m writing to make one thing clear: adding AV over IP to your existing network will always require new infrastructure. This is true whether you choose SDVoE and 10G or products limited to 1G [...]
While filming educational sessions in SDVoE's training room, we were confronted with a word no one really wants to hear. We kind of know what it means, but we had to Google it (without people [...]
Lately something has really been puzzling me. It’s about interoperability, and the ways we take it for granted some places, while completely ignoring its value elsewhere. For example, everyone [...]
System designers work hard to meet a wide range of demands – end users want a simple, reliable and intuitive experience; technicians need a system that is easy to set up and manage; [...]
