Challenge
A company is looking to invest in new AV technology as part of a corporate-wide initiative to promote collaboration and communication. For AV and IT requirements, there needs to be the capability to create a wide variety of configurations for audiovisual presentations among colleagues situated in various locations throughout the corporate campus. The AV implementation needs to be flexible and agile to accommodate just about any scenario, from an in-room presentation, to interdepartmental meetings between colleagues in several buildings, and even a company-wide presentation by the CEO.
Solution
The OmniStream AV over IP product family offers an ideal integration solution that addresses the requirement for absolute AV system flexibility by distributing signals over Gigabit Ethernet. OmniStream encoders and decoders throughout rooms, floors, departments, and buildings can be connected to the campus-wide network infrastructure. This enables a “virtual matrix” – a highly versatile AV distribution system that allows any combination of input and output endpoints, anywhere on campus to be interconnected wherever presentation sources, flat-panel displays, and projectors are needed.
