3. Why Choose Networked AV?
3
Infinitely Scalable
Utilizing networks allows limitless system
expansion
No Distance Limitations
Not limited to traditional point-to-point
transmission distances
Ultra Low Latency
Source to screen latency can be as low as 16
milliseconds (unnoticeable for human eyes)

4. AV/IT Convergence Demands 10G
4
AV/IT convergence has been promised for
years …
Bandwidth isn’t the problem, shared bandwidth
is. There is not enough space on a 1 Gbps
network for quality AV and IT
applications/services.
Why not just use two networks?
Parallel Ethernet infrastructure is not
convergence.
It’s just two Ethernet networks that have to be
maintained and managed separately.

The Codec Triangle

5. AV/IT Convergence Demands 10G
5
But isn’t 10G rare?
75% of SMB networks have deployed 10G
switching infrastructure until today. Reasons:
anticipation of 1) increasing network performance
bottlenecks and 2) new premise expansion.
But isn’t 10G complex?
Any AV over IP system can be complex, whether
1G or 10G. Black Box along with others like
NETGEAR committed to the SDVoE standard with
products that are easy to setup and use.
