Bring Room A/V Devices into the Digital Domain with Vaddio's AV Bridge

Vaddio's AV Bridge is a room based HD media streaming appliance that enables IP or USB 2.0 streaming of content originating from audio and video equipment. Key benefits of the AV Bridge include:

• Capture and stream meetings, lectures and worship services directly to a PC (USB 2.0) or Network (IP)
• Support high definition (HD) encoding of video and audio sources
• Produce superior quality recordings and live streams at a fraction of the cost of other products
• Seamlessly integrates with Vaddio's HD Cameras, Presentation Systems, and Audio products
• Easy to use plug and play functionality
  
  

The AV Bridge combines the capabilities of PC USB capture devices with IP streaming devices to create an affordable, single solution to enable digital recording, storage and distribution of content within meeting rooms, lecture halls and houses of worship. Both USB 2.0 & IP network streaming functions are based upon open standards allowing easy integration with existing network infrastructure, services or software applications for recording, publishing and the delivery of media to the Wide Area Network.

AV Bridge incorporates open standards H.264 network streaming protocols compatible with QuickTime, RealPlayer and VLC Media Player. Streaming via RSTP or HLS for live events delivers content of the any meeting to the masses. The USB 2.0 streams MJPEG video and PCM audio with standard UVC and UAC drivers eliminating the need for custom software drivers (along with the associated driver headaches). The USB streaming capability facilitates using the room's A/V system for PC-based Unified Communication software such as Skype, Microsoft Lync and Google+. The AV Bridge emulates a web cam and USB audio device making PC conferencing or recording a simple plug and play operation.

Designed for professional A/V applications, the AV Bridge offers flexible audio and video interfaces and customizable configurations accessible from the embedded web server or front panel menu. The AV Bridge includes three switchable video inputs to include HDMI, YPbPr/RGBHV and composite video (NTSC/PAL) along with a stereo pair of audio channels selectable between balanced or unbalanced line level inputs. AV Bridge accepts a multitude of video input resolutions from 1080p/60 all the way down to 480i (NTSC) with several widescreen VESA resolutions for PCs. Automated video processing functions from scaling to color correction simplifies configuration while maintaining the highest possible video quality. An advanced high definition H.264 encoder gives the installer the ability to optimize the stream for resolution, frame rate and bit rate. Predefined encoding presets allow one-button activation of the most popular streaming profiles for switching the room's application for the next meeting.
