SDVoE Alliance Demonstrates Multi-vendor Interoperability of AV-over-IP Endpoints at Integrate 2021
Multifaceted demonstration definitively proves that SDVoE outperforms the traditional matrix switch
MONTREAL — June 22, 2021 — At Integrate 2021 (Sydney, July 21-23, stand A3) the SDVoE Alliance® will feature a comprehensive demonstration of an SDVoE™ network. The system consists of four 4K displays arranged in a 2×2 video wall powered by a NETGEAR M4300 Series 10Gb switch along with a mix of receivers, transceivers and transmitters from Christie, ZeeVee, Aurora Multimedia and iMAGsystems, all connected using Siemon cabling. The demo is controlled by iMAGsystems’ Director software, leveraging the common SDVoE API™ to control endpoints from any SDVoE product manufacturer.
“The SDVoE Alliance is exhibiting at Integrate in Australia for the first time ever and we’re thrilled to be back to in-person tradeshows,” said Gerry Wilkins, APAC representative of the SDVoE Alliance. “We have an amazing demonstration for visitors that clearly shows it’s time to leave the matrix switch behind us. Our industry’s future is Ethernet, and this demonstration illustrates that SDVoE delivers that future with the performance we’ve come to expect, and capabilities not previously imagined. Today’s successful AV implementations are focused on experience, not on bits and bytes. The SDVoE platform makes it simple to deliver an experience unmatched by any other technology, old or new.”
Key takeaways from the SDVoE demonstration include proof that SDVoE provides:
- Multi-vendor interoperability that reduces the risk of stranded investment as business needs change (A mix of hardware from Christie, NETGEAR, ZeeVee, Aurora Multimedia, iMAGsystems and Siemon will all be part of the SDVoE demonstration.)
- Bi-directional 4K video through a single endpoint
- Built-in multiview compositing capability without added hardware
- Synchronized video wall processing that eliminates image tearing and motion jitter
- Instant switching for seamless content transitions
- Image scaling without the usual one- or two-frame latency penalty
- A standardized API that makes it simple to manage SDVoE devices
- Substantial cost saving for installation, maintenance, system changes and expansion

About the SDVoE Alliance
SDVoE is an initialism for “Software Defined Video over Ethernet”. The SDVoE Alliance is a nonprofit consortium of technology providers collaborating to standardize the adoption of Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional AV environments, and to create an ecosystem around SDVoE technology allowing software to define AV applications. The alliance participates in tradeshows and conferences, publishes white papers and case studies and promotes SDVoE technology, and solutions based on the technology, to system integrators, designers and consultants. Training and installer certification are also part of the mandate. The SDVoE Alliance founding members are Aquantia, Christie Digital, NETGEAR, Semtech, Sony and ZeeVee. All interested parties are invited to join the alliance and work toward its goals. For more information, visit sdvoe.org and follow us on Twitter @SDVoE.
