- 2. Black Box Connectivity Solutions 2 Networking & IoT Pro AV and Video Walls High-Performance KVM Shared access to remote video, peripheral, and audio sources AV over IP, Video Wall Software, Multiviewers, and AV Control Systems Switches, Cables, Media Converters, SFP Modules
- 3. Why Choose Networked AV? 3 Infinitely Scalable Utilizing networks allows limitless system expansion No Distance Limitations Not limited to traditional point-to-point transmission distances Ultra Low Latency Source to screen latency can be as low as 16 milliseconds (unnoticeable for human eyes)
- 4. AV/IT Convergence Demands 10G 4 AV/IT convergence has been promised for years Bandwidth isnt the problem, shared bandwidth is. There is not enough space on a 1 Gbps network for quality AV and IT applications/services. Why not just use two networks? Parallel Ethernet infrastructure is not convergence. Its just two Ethernet networks that have to be maintained and managed separately. Low Latency Low Bandwidth High Quality The Codec Triangle
- 5. AV/IT Convergence Demands 10G 5 But isnt 10G rare? 75% of SMB networks have deployed 10G switching infrastructure until today. Reasons: anticipation of 1) increasing network performance bottlenecks and 2) new premise expansion. But isnt 10G complex? Any AV over IP system can be complex, whether 1G or 10G. Black Box along with others like NETGEAR committed to the SDVoE standard with products that are easy to setup and use.
