Lightware Sets A New Industry Benchmark

News Image
Lightware Visual Engineering has set a new industry benchmark in the integration of AV and IT with its expanded portfolio of advanced AV over IP solutions.

This positions the company at the forefront of AV (Audio-Visual) and IT (Information Technology) convergence, a trend which is fundamentally changing the way professional AV systems are designed, deployed, and managed.

No longer seen as separate disciplines, AV and IT are becoming seamlessly integrated to provide more efficient, scalable, and flexible solutions for modern enterprises. Central to this transformation is the rise of AV over IP (Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol), which enables the transmission of audio, video, and control signals over standard network infrastructures.

By offering an industry-leading product range that features the VINX, Gemini GVN, Taurus TPN, and UBEX solutions, Lightware enables enterprises to implement unified AV over IP systems and benefit from transformational integration, scalability and remote management capabilities. Lightware solutions deliver unparalleled AV technological convergence to significantly boost collaboration between AV and IT teams to ensure smooth, unified deployments and meet the growing demands of AV integrators and IT professionals. Its innovative range includes:

VINX: a network extender for Gigabit Ethernet networks, which offers diverse application possibilities for applications where scalability, flexibility and rapid deployment are key
Gemini GVN: a powerful IP-based matrix switching solution built for mission-critical environments such as control rooms, broadcast centres and high-end corporate use cases, it offers the performance, reliability and ultra-low latency required by the most demanding organisations

Taurus TPN: a state-of-the-art device for large meeting rooms, boardrooms, and conference settings. It offers USB-C and SDVoE technology for high-quality HDMI 2.0 4K@60 4:4:4 matrix switching over a 10G network, with a range of up to 100 metres
UBEX: delivers pixel-accurate 4K@60 4:4:4 video in real-time, from live events to E-sports to XR applications, with Dolby Atmos capabilities for the ultimate immersive experience

Scarlett Woodford, Head of Collaboration at Futuresource Consulting commented: "Our recent Enterprise AV Decision Maker survey found that 65% of dedicated annual AV budgets sit with IT teams, highlighting the convergence between AV and IT teams within enterprises. As companies look to streamline operations, this departmental merging will inevitably lead to some specialist audio-visual knowledge being lost. Moreover, with IT departments being asked to do more with less, there is a demand for simple deployment methods that make it easy to remotely manage meeting room equipment."

By using standard IP networking protocols, IT teams can leverage their existing knowledge of network management tools to monitor and maintain AV systems. This reduces the burden on AV integrators and enables more efficient system management. Lightware systems are also designed to integrate seamlessly with existing IT infrastructures, allowing AV and IT professionals to collaborate effectively. In addition, the rise of hybrid work environments means the ability to remotely monitor and control AV systems has become essential. Lightware AV over IP solutions allow IT teams to manage AV systems from anywhere, providing real-time diagnostics and troubleshooting.

"The convergence of AV and IT is driving transformational innovation across the industry," said Gergely Vida, CEO at Lightware. "As more organisations embrace the performance and efficiency benefits IP-based solutions deliver, they are turning to cutting-edge technologies that maximise the potential of AV over IP. This is where Lightware's VINX, Gemini GVN, Taurus TPN and UBEX product lines are enabling them to deliver significant benefits."
