Vaddio Audio-Video Bridge

Vaddio’s AV Bridge provides integrators the ability to integrate soft codecs such as Skype, Cisco Jabber, Microsoft Lync, as well as many more, into their traditional AV designs. The AV Bridge provides the digital USB gateway to allow the integration of PRO audio and video equipment into any PC software application.

Based on UVC/UAC USB standards, no special USB drivers need to be installed, and as a result, it works seamlessly with any software application running on any operating system that supports USB 2.0 devices. Whether you want to do a Skype video call or need to set up lecture capture using Panopto’s software lecture application, the AV Bridge provides the USB connection to your AV system. Want to record or stream a meeting? Use the recording and streaming software of your choice — and AV Bridge will connect the audio and video sources.

The AV Bridge can support switchable balanced or unbalanced audio — and switchable HDMI, RGBHV, SD or HD component video inputs. Video inputs can be up or down converted as required. Outputs include USB 2.0 with HD UVC/UAC device support – or an Ethernet network interface for both IP control and streaming, supporting RTSP and HLS streaming clients.

The AV Bridge makes it simple to encode, capture and stream your AV content through a variety of PC applications or directly to the network. You now have a true digital gateway to capture, record and stream those legacy analog solutions.

1.Capture and stream meetings, lectures, worship services directly to the PC (USB) or a network (IP)
2.Supports HD (High Definition) encoding of video and audio sources
3.Produce high quality recordings and live streams
4.Seamlessly integrates with Vaddio's HD cameras, presentation systems, and audio products (sold separately)
5.Easy to use with Plug & Play functionality
6.Flexible Application Use: The AV Bridge supports USB or IP streaming for lecture recording, content delivery, or PC conferencing applications. Use the room-based lecture recording solution
7.High Definition A/V Encoder: IP streaming enables up to 1080p/30 using H.264/AAC, or stream directly to the PC with a USB for 720p/30 sources using MJPEG encoding with PCM uncompressed audio
8.Integrates with Vaddio Endpoints: Interfaces with Vaddio AutoPresenter, PTZ Cameras, and EasyTalk Audio products. The AV Bridge is also Vaddio endpoints compatible with software based A/V equipment
9.Simple User Interface and Control: Front panel menu and controls with application specific configurations reduces the user's complexity without compromising flexibility
10.Switchable Audio and Video Inputs: User selectable video and audio inputs allows multiple sources to be connected to the AV Bridge at the same time. User simple changes source inputs as needed during the presentation or lecture
11.Emulates USB Webcam and Microphone Device: The AV Bridge can be used with software-based lecture recording, or unified communication applications, thereby minimizing interoperability problems by implementation of standard based UVC and UAC drivers. Simply connect to a PC and begin streaming content
12.Automated Signal Processing: Automated video and audio processing ensures media quality is maintained without the need for user intervention
13.Uses Common Media Player for Playback: IP Streams are standard based MPEG4 allowing playback of content on players like Windows Media Player, Quick-Time, or VLC
14.Made in USA
