RAV-IP supports both low-cost Cat5/6 connections, as well as fiber for longer distances up to 10 kilometers. The system is unique in its flexible support for Cat5 and fiber in a single inexpensive system. Installation and Configuration Made Easy To install and configure RAV-IP, connect the encoders and decoders to your input and output devices, and then to a managed Gigabit Ethernet switch with Cat5/6 cabling or fiber. The system can then automatically set the IP addresses, or they can be assigned statically or via DHCP. A web-based GUI available for configuration. Use the channel switches on the encoder/decoders to assign video inputs to outputs. To switch channels, use the rotary switch or the included remote control, just like your TV remote control at home! A USB KVM control is also available. No expensive control systems or complex programming required.

With RAV-IP you can stream 1080p video at up to 60 frames-per-second with low latency and minimum bandwidth. Supported video formats include: 1080p, 720p 3D, 1920x1200 (WUXGA) video. Supported audio formats include: LPCM, DTSTM & Dolby Audio Up to 7.1 channels.
