RTI follows on the acquisition of the video-over-IP distribution solution from Miravue by shipping the VIP-1, a video-over-IP system for scalable AV distribution over ethernet, coax and wireless networking.
The VIP-1 acts as transmitter and receiver, reducing the amount of components, cabling and installation time required. It uses JPG 2000 compression to convert 1080p HDMI video to H.264 with Dolby 5.1 audio over 100Mbps network. The built-in scaler matches the maximum resolution of the target display, while automatically providing stereo downmixing and lip-sync adjustments.
Users can also watch network video streams from IP security cameras, without need for additional equipment. Combined with an RTI XP processor, the video-over-IP system acts as an extension of the RTI ecosystem, delivering IR and RS232 control to external devices.
"For our dealers, the incredible flexibility of the VIP-1 helps lower the costs of AV distribution in commercial and residential projects," RTI says. "The unit is an exciting addition to our expanding line of AV distribution products and the RTI ecosystem as a whole."
