Almost everything in the enterprise is or can be connected and powered by the IP network. Once-disparate systems – VoIP, security, computers, WAPs, lighting, and even HVAC – are converging. AV is no exception.
More and more, AV systems are being migrated to the IP network. This approach is more scalable for future growth, allows extended distances for transmission, enables PoE, and eliminates the hassle and expense of installing a separate AV-only infrastructure.
