A There are alternatives to AV over IP that satisfy small scale installations. For point-to-point AV distribution, solutions like HDBaseT, fiber extenders, and HDMI Active Optical Cables (AOC) are highly suitable. These technologies are particularly effective for stable, high-quality connections within a single room or across fixed locations in a home, such as a home theater or living room. But when multiple zones and scalability are a factor, AV over IP is the ultimate solution for professional A/V integrators. For systems with significant distribution requirements, AV over IP provides unmatched flexibility and scalability. Integrators can dynamically route multiple sources to multiple displays across various rooms, making it the ideal solution for larger residential projects and/or when scalability is important. AV over IP also enables easier expansion and reconfiguration, offering more versatility in modern home systems. While traditional solutions like extender kits or matrix switchers may be an adequate choice for simpler, set-and-forget scenarios, more consumers are looking for the performance, scalability and upgrade-friendly advantages that are a staple with AV over IP infrastructure. Finally, AVPro Edge supports integrators using all of the above solutions, providing a comprehensive product portfolio that includes both point-to-point and AV over IP technologies to suit various residential AV needs.
