AV over IP Encoders & Decoders — Networked AV Distribution for Every Screen

Distribute 4K audio and video over a standard Ethernet network instead of dedicated point-to-point matrix cabling. ADHOOPU AV over IP endpoints scale to hundreds of screens — video walls, campuses, control rooms and KVM applications — without re-cabling. One system covers encode, decode, matrix switching and KVM, so the project ends up as a single IP video distribution system with one management interface instead of two parallel cabling plants.

Why Networked AV Instead of a Traditional Matrix?

A traditional AV matrix requires a dedicated cable from every source to the matrix and from the matrix to every display. Adding one screen means new cabling. AV over IP changes the architecture: each source becomes an encoder on the network, each display becomes a decoder, and routing happens in software. Scaling from 8 screens to 200 screens means adding endpoints, not rebuilding the cabling infrastructure.

Scale Without Re-Cabling

Scalable AV distribution across existing network infrastructure. Add endpoints as the project grows — campuses, multi-building sites and phased rollouts become practical.

Any Source to Any Screen

Any source any screen routing with point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and many-to-many AV distribution, plus multi-screen video distribution and video wall layouts.

Long Distance, Low Latency

Long distance AV over IP over standard fibre or copper network links, with low latency AV over IP suitable for live operations and control rooms.

KVM over IP

KVM over IP and distributed KVM let operators control remote machines from a control room — control room KVM and command center KVM deployments.

Video Wall Control

Video wall controller over IP for operations centres, traffic management and security operations rooms with flexible window layouts.

Centralised Management

Centralised AV management of every endpoint: status, firmware, routing presets and scheduled actions from one interface.

AV over IP FAQ

Technical questions from integrators designing networked AV projects.

What is AV over IP and how does it differ from a traditional AV matrix?
AV over IP (AVoIP) distributes audio and video over a standard Ethernet network instead of dedicated point-to-point matrix cabling. Each source becomes an AV over IP encoder, each display becomes an AV over IP decoder, and routing is done in software. A traditional matrix needs dedicated cabling from every source and to every display; an IP-based AV system scales by adding endpoints to the existing network.
What is the difference between QG-FBST52K and QG-FBST5K?
Both are ADHOOPU AV over IP encoders. The QG-FBST52K is the primary encoder model in the current line, and QG-FBST5K is the 1GbE variant. The decoder equivalents are QG-FBSR52K and QG-FBSR5K. Recommended model depends on resolution, latency and network requirements — we confirm the right pairing per project.
Does AV over IP support KVM for control rooms?
Yes. ADHOOPU AV over IP endpoints support KVM over IP and distributed KVM, letting operators at a control room KVM position control remote machines while also viewing distributed video. This is standard for command center KVM and security operations deployments.
How many screens can one system support?
Because routing is software-based on the network, scalable AV distribution means the practical limit is the network design rather than the switching chassis. Projects scale from a handful of rooms to hundreds of endpoints across multiple buildings. Add AV over IP encoders or decoders as the site expands.
What latency should I expect?
ADHOOPU AV over IP endpoints are designed for low latency AV over IP suitable for live operations, control rooms and interactive applications. Exact figures vary with resolution, codec profile and network configuration. Confirm target latency with our engineering team for your specific project.
Does AV over IP work with existing control systems?
Yes. Devices are managed through a central interface and expose standard control interfaces, so they integrate with third-party control platforms. For deeper integration, API and SDK access is available to partners — see the OEM / ODM programme.
Is AV over IP available for OEM / private label?
Yes. ADHOOPU manufactures AV over IP OEM and AV over IP ODM hardware under partner brands, including private label AV over IP, custom AV over IP configurations, custom protocol integration and custom enclosure branding.

Distributed AV-over-IP: Video over IP, HDMI over IP and Low-Latency Networked AV

The ADHOOPU fabric delivers distributed AV-over-IP, video over IP and HDMI over IP on standard 1GbE networks: IP video distribution, audio over IP, low-latency AV over IP and multicast video distribution with IGMP snooping. Build a network video matrix from AV-over-IP encoders and AV-over-IP decoders, with USB over IP and KVM for operator workstations.

Evaluating a Crestron DM NVX alternative or an Extron NAV alternative? ST52K and SR52K nodes provide 4K AV over IP encoder/decoder functionality at a far more accessible cost point than an equivalent fixed matrix, scaling by adding nodes instead of replacing chassis.

What is the difference between AV over IP and a matrix switcher?

A traditional matrix switcher is a fixed-size hardware chassis with a fixed number of inputs and outputs. AV over IP distributes video over a standard IP network, so any input can be routed to any output simply by adding encoder or decoder nodes — you scale the matrix by adding nodes, not by replacing hardware.

Can AV over IP work on a 1GbE network?

Yes. ST52K and SR52K run on standard managed 1GbE switches with IGMP snooping and QoS. For large node counts, 1GbE uplinks between access switches are recommended.
