Long-Distance AV Transmission Solution: IP-Based HDMI Extension and Integration
In modern commercial environments, the demand for long-distance AV signal transmission is increasing. Traditional HDMI extenders are limited by the high cost of fiber optic cabling and lack scalability. Aegis' IP-based HDMI extension solution leverages network technology to provide a more flexible and cost-effective AV transmission integration, perfectly addressing the challenges of long-distance transmission.
Challenges of Long-Distance AV Transmission
- Distance Limitations
Traditional HDMI extenders use fiber optics as the transmission medium. Each additional display point requires a new fiber optic line, resulting in high installation costs and increased construction difficulty, especially in complex building environments.
- Scalability Issues
When system expansion or reconfiguration is required, traditional architectures demand rewiring and construction, leading to environmental disruptions. Additionally, each added node increases system complexity, making troubleshooting and maintenance more difficult and raising long-term maintenance costs.
- Control and Management Needs
Traditional systems lack a unified management interface, requiring operators to control devices from different locations, leading to inefficiencies. Moreover, without remote monitoring and management functions, system status cannot be tracked in real time, increasing maintenance workload and operational costs.
