Streaming Design Guide

The migration of AV solutions to real-time IP streaming represents the next great innovation for our industry. Moving audio visual solutions onto IP networks represents incredible opportunities to 1.) Extend the reach of real-time communication beyond a room or building to a global enterprise 2.) Increase the scalability of AV distribution systems with digital quality, 3.) Simplify the wiring, installation and operation of systems and 4.) Improve the ability to document, analyze and share mixed video/graphic information used in all types of presentations.

In the early months of 2010 Extron acquired the Products Division of Electrosonic. This acquisition brought with it the PURE3 codec, which is applied in high-performance video and graphic streaming products which are available now from Extron. Concurrently, Extron is now in the third year of an internal development program of standards based H.264 streaming products. A preview of Extron’s H.264 technology was shown at InfoComm 2010. Look for Extron to offer reference and training materials as well as education programs in AV streaming and IP networking topics essential to integrating successful solutions.

Attaining proficiency in the subject of streaming A/V over IP will be essential to delivering sound streaming solutions. The Extron Streaming A/V over IP Design Guide represents a starting point for Extron customers. It provides reference data, information on important technical topics, and real-world application examples, demonstrating practical uses of Extron streaming technologies.
