AV over IP vs Traditional Matrix Switcher – Which Architecture?
| Feature | Traditional Matrix | AV over IP |
|---|---|---|
| Scalability | Hardware‑limited (ports) | Unlimited (network‑based) |
| Cabling | Dedicated HDMI/HDBaseT | Standard Ethernet (Cat6/6A) |
| Flexibility | Fixed routing matrix | Software‑defined routing |
| Latency | ~10‑30ms (HDBaseT) | <1‑50ms (codec dependent) |
| Best For | Small rooms, fixed installations | Multi‑room, campus, scalable |
*Layerix recommends AV over IP for new builds and multi‑room deployments; traditional for small, fixed installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AV over IP.
What is AV over IP and why is it replacing traditional matrix switchers?+
AV over IP sends audio and video signals over standard Ethernet networks using encoders/decoders. It replaces bulky matrix switchers with flexible, software‑defined routing, allowing any source to any display over the network. It scales easily, supports 4K/8K, and simplifies cabling. Traditional matrix switchers are hardware‑limited and less flexible.
AV over IP vs traditional matrix switcher – what's the cost difference?+
AV over IP typically has lower total cost of ownership for installations with 4+ sources/displays. Individual encoders/decoders cost ₹50,000‑₹1,50,000 each, but you save on expensive matrix hardware, dedicated HDMI/HDBaseT cabling, and get unlimited scalability. For small rooms (1‑2 sources), matrix switchers may be cheaper upfront.
What is IGMP snooping and why does it matter for AV over IP?+
IGMP snooping is a network switch feature that prevents multicast traffic from flooding all ports – directing it only to devices that need the stream. For AV over IP using multicast (one source to many displays), IGMP snooping is essential to avoid overwhelming your network with unnecessary traffic.
What is the typical latency for AV over IP?+
Latency depends on the codec and network. SDVoE achieves <1ms latency, making it suitable for live production. Crestron NVX has 10‑20ms latency. JPEG2000 and H.264 codecs have 50‑150ms latency – fine for presentations but not live camera switching. Layerix recommends the right codec for your use case.
What is the difference between unicast and multicast AV over IP?+
Unicast sends a separate stream to each display – bandwidth increases with each viewer. Multicast sends one stream that multiple displays can subscribe to – bandwidth remains constant regardless of viewers. Multicast is ideal for campus‑wide announcements and video walls; unicast is better for point‑to‑point distribution.
Is AV over IP secure from unauthorised access?+
Yes. AV over IP systems support VLAN segmentation, 802.1X authentication, AES encryption, and role‑based access control. Layerix designs AV networks with security in mind – isolating AV traffic from corporate data and restricting access to authorised users.
