AV over IP Transmitters & Receivers

AV over IP sends video, audio and control across a network switch instead of a fixed matrix, so any source can be routed to any display and the system grows by adding endpoints. It is the route for large venues, campuses, digital signage and multi-room installs where a conventional matrix would run out of ports.

The category holds three CYP families. The SDVoE 10G range runs 4K60 on a 10G network: compact transmitters and receivers in Cat6A versions with PoE (SDV-C1H-TX, SDV-C1H-RX) or fibre SFP+ versions (SDV-F1H-TX, SDV-F1H-RX), the SDV-CTRX-BD and SDV-FTRX-BD transceivers with USB, and the SDV-CS8 controller with dual LAN. The IP-9000 Series is 1G at 4K60 with USB and PoE (IP-9000TX, IP-9000RX), managed by the IP-CS9000 controller. The IP-7000 Series is 1G at 4K, with the IP-7000H-TX HDMI transmitter, the IP-7000C-TX with USB-C and HDMI for laptops, the IP-7000RX receiver with HDMI and VGA out, the IP-A750TX and IP-A750RX audio over IP pair, and the IP-CS7 controller.

Bandwidth is the first fork. The SDVoE 10G system needs a 10G switch but gives far more bandwidth per stream, while the 1G series run on ordinary gigabit network infrastructure. Then choose copper or fibre: Cat6A for normal runs, fibre SFP+ for long or awkward routes. Treat each series as its own system with its matching controller rather than mixing endpoints between families. USB on the transceivers and the IP-9000 and IP-7000 endpoints lets keyboard and mouse follow the picture.

For simple point-to-point runs, HDMI & AV Extenders are usually the easier answer, and the Video Signal Basics guide explains resolution and frame rate.

AV over IP FAQs

What network switch do I need for AV over IP? The SDVoE 10G units need a 10G switch with Cat6A or SFP+ fibre ports to suit the endpoints, while the IP-9000 and IP-7000 Series run on 1G networks. Check the switch requirements in the product documentation before specifying.

Can I mix SDVoE and IP-7000 endpoints in one system? Treat them as separate systems. Plan each one within a single family, using the transmitters, receivers and controller from that series.
