Flexible Audiovisual Switching Solution for Meeting Rooms: Creating Smart Collaborative Spaces
In modern corporate environments, the efficiency of meeting room usage directly impacts team collaboration quality. With movable partitions in meeting spaces, enterprises require a flexible audiovisual system that can accommodate meetings of various sizes. Aegis introduces a professional IP-distributed architecture solution that perfectly addresses the adaptive use of meeting spaces.
Challenges Faced by the Enterprise
- Inefficient Space Utilization
Fixed meeting rooms cannot flexibly adapt to different meeting sizes, leading to resource waste. Large meeting rooms remain underutilized when fewer participants are present, while small meeting rooms become overcrowded when the number of attendees increases.
- Complex Audiovisual Switching
Traditional HDMI extenders require complicated operations for switching video sources and only support a limited number of inputs, making them inadequate for multiple presenters. The lack of scalability in traditional systems also makes it difficult to accommodate future expansion needs.
- High Maintenance and Management Costs
Deploying multiple extenders increases potential failure points, making system maintenance more challenging. Additionally, the excessive wiring required in traditional systems affects both aesthetics and day-to-day maintenance complexity.

Solution：aegis' Integrated Technology
By implementing Aegis' IP-based matrix architecture solution, the system offers the following key advantages：
- IP-Based Matrix Architecture
The system integrates 1080P over IP technology, supporting real-time switching and transmission of multiple video sources, significantly improving meeting efficiency. Through centralized management via a network switch, audiovisual distribution can be easily extended across different areas. When the partition between two meeting rooms is opened, both projectors can display the same content. When the partition is closed, each room can independently project different content, allowing flexible utilization of video resources between different meeting spaces.
- Intuitive Control Interface
The system offers various control options, including an iOS-based iPad app and PoE network buttons. Users can visually preview available signal sources and perform real-time switching through an intuitive interface. The iPad app supports customizable scene settings, enabling users to pre-configure display modes based on different meeting needs. The PoE button provides a quick-switching function, allowing meeting participants to directly control the system without relying on technical support personnel.
- Multi-Function Control System
The system integrates comprehensive Command-based control functions, supporting various advanced operation modes. Through the centralized control system, one-touch scene switching can be achieved, allowing for quick adjustments to pre-configured meeting modes. The system supports multi-level access control, enabling administrators to assign different operational permissions to users. Additionally, the control system includes real-time equipment monitoring, allowing managers to track the operational status of all devices and implement proactive maintenance management. The system also supports a scheduled automation function, automatically adjusting room settings based on pre-defined schedules, creating an intelligent meeting space.
