Matrix Switching

There was a time, not too long ago, when AV over IP didn’t seem to pose a serious threat to the matrix switching approach to video distribution.

That is no longer the case.

AV over IP is now — and perhaps inevitably — a highly sought solution for customers distributing important video content across their organizations. After all, an AV over IP network deployment can be up to 3X as fast a matrix switching solution.

Meanwhile, smart integration firms and consultants are recommending AV over IP to their customers, many of whom make technology decisions out of their IT departments. By leveraging a standardized hardware and software platform for distributing AV over Ethernet such as SDVoE (Software Defined Video Over Ethernet) everybody can ensure quality of performance.

In this free webinar, ZeeVee CEO Bob Michaels takes stock of where we are in the transition from matrix switching to AV over IP with input learned from system designers in the field — what are the advantages of AV over IP and what are the disadvantages of matrix switches?
