Network configuration often decides whether AVoIP makes sense on a smaller HDMI distribution job. When setup requires VLANs, multicast tuning and a dedicated controller, the labor can outweigh the benefits on a modest install.
Vanco International, the Batavia, Illinois-based provider of AV distribution products, is targeting that gap. The company announces that EVO-IP Go, a plug-and-play AVoIP system built for dedicated networks, has begun shipping to customers in North America and Europe.
What Is EVO-IP Go?
EVO-IP Go is the newest addition to Vanco’s award-winning EVO-IP family of AVoIP products. It distributes HDMI signals over a dedicated network using paired transmitter and receiver boxes.
The difference isn’t the signal path. It’s the setup. Vanco designed EVO-IP Go to remove the network engineering steps that typically come with AVoIP deployments.
How Does EVO-IP Go Simplify Installation?
EVO-IP Go simplifies installation by eliminating the control box, VLAN setup and complex network configuration. Transmitters and receivers discover each other automatically once they’re connected to the dedicated network.
For your crews, that means fewer configuration steps on site and fewer places for an install to go wrong. A technician doesn’t need advanced networking credentials to bring a system online.
How Do Users Control the System?
Users control EVO-IP Go through the EVO-IP Go App, available on iOS and Android. The app lets users switch sources and turn displays on or off.
That puts day-to-day operation in the client’s hands without a separate control processor. It also cuts the hardware count on the project.
What Video and Audio Performance Does EVO-IP Go Deliver?
EVO-IP Go delivers 4K at 30Hz HDMI video with analog audio breakout. The audio breakout lets you route sound to a separate amplifier or speaker system without extra extraction hardware.
The system also supports videowalls up to 5×5 displays. That extends its use beyond simple point-to-point distribution into lobbies, retail spaces and other multi-display installs.
What Network and Power Options Does It Support?
EVO-IP Go works with either managed or unmanaged switches. That flexibility lets you match the switch to the project budget rather than spec a managed switch by default.
The units can also run on PoE. Powering transmitters and receivers over the network cable removes the need for local power supplies at each endpoint, which simplifies placement behind displays and in equipment racks.
What Quality Control and Warranty Back EVO-IP Go?
Vanco fully quality checks every EVO-IP Go unit at its headquarters in Batavia, Illinois. The process matches the company’s approach across its Evolution product line.
Each unit is backed by a ten-year warranty. For integrators weighing long-term support costs, that coverage reduces the risk of replacement expenses down the line.
