As hybrid collaboration expands and meeting environments grow larger, IT teams are under pressure to deliver seamless BYOM experiences — without signal degradation or complex cabling.
The OIP-N BYOM USB Extension integrates the OIP-N40E encoder and OIP-N60D decoder, converting USB audio, video, and control into IP packets transmitted over standard CAT5e/6 networks. By leveraging existing infrastructure, organizations can extend USB connectivity across rooms — or even floors — without specialized cabling.
Today, many AV installations blend multiple technologies with a variety of digital, analog, USB, HDMI and IP inputs and outputs.
Lumens OIP-N is designed to bridge between traditional analog audio systems, computer interfaces and modern IP-based infrastructures. It allows enterprises and institutions to easily convert existing audio and video equipment to IP for efficient network transmission. The result is a simple and efficient path towards more flexible environments, optimized for better communication.
Modern AV systems are rapidly moving onto IT networks, but the number of AV over IP technologies available today can make system design confusing. Integrators, IT teams and consultants are often faced with multiple options such as H.264/H.265 streaming, visually lossless 1G solutions or high-performance 10G SDVoE systems.
Each technology solves a different problem. The key is understanding which approach best matches the network infrastructure, performance requirements and scale of the project.
This guide explains the three core AV over IP technologies used in modern Pro AV systems and how to choose the right one.
A recent Audio Visual system upgrade at Mangosuthu University of Technology (MUT), North Campus, has delivered a modern, flexible seminar room designed for hybrid teaching and collaboration.
The installation was delivered by Dasen Moodley and the DI-Info Systems team, with support from Ryan Lott, our representative in Durban.
