Decentralizing AV

The Strategic Shift to AV over IP for Unlimited Scalability

Traditional AV routes are fundamentally bound by fixed hardware ports. If you purchase an 8x8 matrix switcher, expanding to a 9th display or source requires replacing the entire core chassis—a costly and disruptive process. For this reason, modern enterprises, university campuses, and medical facilities are rapidly migrating toward AV over IP (Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol) architectures.

AV over IP leverages standard, cost-effective Gigabit Ethernet switches to packetise and route audio and video signals. By decoupling routing from dedicated hardware and placing it onto standard network infrastructure, the constraints of physical port limits disappear completely. Your system scales as flexibly as your network allows.

Flexible Deployment: EXHDIP-150 & EXHDIP-150RX

The gofanco EXHDIP-150 ecosystem exemplifies this decentralized philosophy. By converting HDMI signals into network packets, the EXHDIP-150 transmitter distributes vivid video across an existing Local Area Network (LAN). When paired with multiple EXHDIP-150RX receivers, configuring one-to-many broadcasting or many-to-many matrix configurations become a simple matter of network routing and software control.


Pro-Tier Infrastructure: HDExtIPv2 and HD20Ext1xN Series

For enterprise-grade installations demanding enhanced stability and performance optimization, gofanco offers HDExtIPv2, which features advanced compression algorithms that preserve image clarity while managing network bandwidth effectively. Furthermore, when high-efficiency mass broadcasting is required—such as in airport terminals, sports bars, or massive corporate lobbies—the gofanco HD20Ext1xN transmitter and its companion HD20Ext1xN-RX receiver provide a rock-solid foundation. Optimized for continuous, 24/7 operation, these units support smooth multi-display scaling via standard IGMP snooping switches, ensuring zero impact on your core corporate data traffic.
