Understanding IT/AV and HDBaseT™ Control Systems

As audiovisual technology has moved from analog cables to category cable infrastructure, AV networks have begun to look more like traditional data networks. As a result, datacom contractors are in a great position to expand their business by quoting and installing AV systems based on the data network technologies they install every day.

This white paper covers:

  • Control signal options and examples
  • HDBaseT control capabilities
  • Simple room control using HDBaseT

EXCERPT:

As audiovisual technology has moved from analog cables to category cable infrastructure, AV networks have begun to look more like traditional data networks. As a result, datacom contractors are in a great position to expand their business by quoting and installing AV systems based on the data network technologies they install every day. IT/AV control systems further enable low-voltage contractors to become AV experts for their customers. This white paper provides basic control signal and service background and illustrates how control capabilities of HDBaseTTM technology can be utilized for audiovisual solutions.

Control Signals – Why We Need Them
There is a strong need for convenient and centralized control in conference rooms and classrooms. HDBaseT systems are an ideal solution for supporting high-quality audiovisual signal extension within these applications.

Centralized room control provides command over device power; room attributes like projection screens, lights, and shades; input or output source signal switching; audio volume; and device monitoring such as projector lamp life, scheduled system-wide maintenance, and theft detection.
