Choosing an AV over IP System

AV over IP distributes 4K video, audio, and control over a standard gigabit network switch instead of a fixed matrix and dedicated cabling. Each source connects to an encoder and each display to a decoder, so any source can reach any display and the system scales from a few endpoints to hundreds by adding units. It is the flexible, expandable alternative to an HDMI matrix when a system needs to grow or span a large building.

Key Digital AV over IP encoders and decoders, including the KD-IP922ENC-II with KD-IP922DEC-II and the KD-IP1022ENC-II with KD-IP1022DEC-II, deliver 4K signals with PoE (power over the network cable), HDMI pass-through, and audio de-embedding. They support Mosaic video walls and Open API control ports, so you can build tiled displays and integrate with control systems from the same platform.

Manage the system with free Key Digital software: the KD-App for iOS control and KDMS Pro for Windows setup and control. Size the deployment by counting sources (encoders) and displays (decoders), confirm your network switch meets the bandwidth and IGMP requirements, and add endpoints as the project grows. An authorized Key Digital dealer can design the switch configuration and endpoint count for your project.

Frequently asked questions

What is AV over IP?

AV over IP distributes video, audio, and control over a standard network switch instead of a dedicated matrix. Sources connect to encoders and displays to decoders, so any source can reach any display and the system scales by adding units.

When should I use AV over IP instead of an HDMI matrix?

Choose AV over IP when you need to scale beyond the input and output count of a fixed matrix, cover long distances, or expand over time. Choose an HDMI matrix for a self-contained system with a fixed, smaller number of sources and displays.

Do Key Digital AV over IP encoders and decoders use PoE?

Yes. Key Digital AV over IP endpoints such as the KD-IP922 and KD-IP1022 series support PoE, so each unit is powered over the same network cable that carries the signal, which simplifies installation.

Can Key Digital AV over IP build a video wall?

Yes. The KD-IP922 and KD-IP1022 decoders support Mosaic video walls, so you can tile a single image across multiple displays and combine that with standard distribution on the same network.

How do I control and manage the system?

Use the free KD-App for iOS control and KDMS Pro Windows software for setup and control. Open API control ports let you integrate the system with Compass Control or a third-party control system.
