Empowering Digital Transformation with an IT-integrated AV approach

Userful’s Visual Networking Platform gives IT teams the right tools to manage the back-end of their AV networks, while functional departments deliver content.

CIOs can now standardize on a single platform to support operational workflows more efficiently.

AV-over-IP Approaches

Traditional AV Solution

While conventional AV solutions have added specialized encoders and decoders in an attempt to make their solutions AV-over-IP “ready”, they have done it with cumbersome, proprietary hardware with limited scalability.

While these solutions may be using standard IP for transmission, they promote a siloed approach that is unable to separate control plane and the data/AV plane resulting in:

  • Support for only a single source onto one endpoint (or several mirrored devices using multicast).
  • Limited adjustments to resolution, aspect ratio etc
  • No control layer witch prevents distributed management by IT.

Userful & Software-defined AV-over-IP

Userful in contrast eliminates the encoders and decoders and fully embraces existing IP standards.

It is not just AV-over-IP, it is a software-defined standards-based AV-over-IP and relies on standard hardware, standard IT protocols and a standard network. This approach separates the control plane from the data/AV plane, allowing:

  • Delivery of any and many sources to any and many endpoints
  • Real time adjustments in resolution, aspect ratio, compression, etc. as required
  • A control layer that enables distributed management by IT

Get the right approach for you and your company.

Key Technical Differentiators

Scalability

Userful’s Software-Defined platform operates over the network, with the option for either public or private cloud servers, allowing users to easily add additional endpoints and screens.

Latency

Software-Defined solutions such as Userful eliminate unnecessary hardware (i.e. encoders, decoders, matrix switchers, etc.), which add latency/delay to the transmission of the video content.

Resolution

As a Software-Defined solution Userful is able to handle increasing resolution requirements, as opposed to proprietary hardware-based solutions that are limited by the device capabilities.

Codec Efficiency

Userful leverages standard codec technology that deliver near-lossless compression and can be used for both mission-critical and non-mission critical applications.
