A control room operator has to move between hosts without unplugging anything, put any source on the wall, and keep going around the clock. Traditional designs answer that with a KVM matrix, a separate wall processor, a multiviewer and a control system — four purchases, four failure points. AVoIP collapses them onto one standard 1GbE network.
Keyboard, video and mouse follow the operator from host to host over the same IP link that carries the video, with no dedicated KVM matrix in the rack.
Any source can be placed on the video wall in 8 to 32 layers, with multiview layouts built by the platform rather than an external multiviewer.
Encoding and decoding are tuned for live operator use so switching feels immediate at the desk and on the wall — not a streaming pipeline with a viewing delay.
The platform is a Linux-based appliance designed to run 7×24. Endpoints and the platform are monitored from one console, so a failed unit is identified instead of discovered.
Add operators or sources by adding endpoints to the managed switch. There is no fixed-size chassis to replace when the room grows.
The built-in control engine handles RS-232/485, IO, IR, relay and TCP/UDP/HTTP, so third-party processors are optional rather than mandatory.
| Capability | Typical Control Room Stack | ADHOOPU Platform |
|---|---|---|
| KVM extension | Separate KVM matrix or extender set | USB 2.0 KVM over IP on the same link as video |
| Video wall | Dedicated wall processor chassis | 8 to 32-layer wall and multiview built into the platform |
| Multiview | External multiviewer | Platform-side layout, no extra box |
| Control | Separate control processor and licences | Built-in control engine plus open APIs |
| Scaling | Fixed chassis ports | Add endpoints to standard 1GbE switches |
| Operation | Several devices to monitor and service | One platform, one console, 7×24 design |
Comparison reflects the architecture class, not a single SKU. Confirm exact channel counts and feature requirements for your project.
KVM is carried over IP alongside the video, with USB 2.0 extended to the operator station. The operator switches host with keyboard shortcuts or a control panel, and the video, keyboard and mouse follow together.
Windows are composed in 8 to 32 layers across the wall, so layouts range from a single display to a large array. Source count is set by the number of endpoints, not by a fixed chassis.
The encoding profile is tuned for interactive operator use rather than long-latency streaming, so switching at the desk and on the wall stays responsive.
In most control rooms the KVM matrix, the wall processor and the multiviewer can be replaced by the platform and its endpoints. Migration is usually phased, with both systems running in parallel first.
The platform exposes open TCP/UDP/HTTP APIs and a built-in control engine, so existing control programming can be adapted with support from our integration team.
ADHOOPU is an AVoIP control room platform that puts KVM over IP, video wall, multiview and control onto one standard 1GbE network, so an operations centre replaces a stack of dedicated processors with a single platform. Ask for a room-specific configuration and trial units at factory pricing.
