Using Ethernet to distribute audio and video is moving into the mainstream to support digital communications and content. Today, Ethernet has become the global standard for transmitting digital signals. But how does this concept impact your cabling infrastructure? While Ethernet technology started with computer networks, it has expanded to encompass voice, security, building automation and now commercial AV. There are many reasons for this shift—easy-to-use infrastructure and high-bandwidth capabilities, for starters—but the low cost of Ethernet switches has led this charge. Traditional AV switches can cost tens of thousands of dollars while an Ethernet switch to support AV over IP requires only a few hundred dollars. |
