P-AVN-4E

The PlexusAV P-AVN-4E IPMX Encoder is a versatile, high-performance AV-over-IP device capable of encoding HDMI or USB-C video signals using JPEG-XS for ultra low-latency transport. Built to support open standards like IPMX, the P-AVN-4E integrates seamlessly into existing and future AV networks.

It delivers high-quality, ultra low-latency video using JPEG-XS for bandwidth-efficient workflows. The P-AVN-4E can also carry peripheral signals across the network, including USB for KVM, balanced analog audio, AES67, and RS-232 control. Dante stereo audio support is available with an optional license.

Description

• Automatic Device Discovery: Detect and configure all IPMX-supported devices with ease

• Friendly Device Naming: Assign user-friendly names to devices for easy identification

• Grouping & Tagging: Advanced grouping capabilities and tag-based filtering for simplified device management

• Push Updates and Profiles: Perform so ware updates and configuration changes to large deployments with ease

• Real-Time Alarms: Set up automatic notifications for system alerts, with detailed logging for tracking and troubleshooting

• Matrix View: Quickly switch between video sources and destinations using a matrix interface. Matrix view provides video thumbnails for confident switching

• Video Wall Processing: Easily manage video walls up to a 3×3 configuration for large displays

• API Integration: Seamlessly integrate third-party control systems and automation with the GraphQL API

• IPMX & NMOS Integration: Fully supports IPMX and NMOS (IS-04, IS-05) for open, scalable, and future-proof deployments
