With limitless scalability and flexibility, VE8962 video over IP extension system can transmit signals from floor to floor with over IP structure via simple installation, making it an ideal and reliable solution for a wide range of environments, such as trade shows, airports, university campuses, conference centers, and shopping centers.

Network Redundancy to Sustain System Availability
VE8962 ensures smooth and reliable over-IP AV transmission over long distances via both LAN and optical network connections, maintaining system uptime through connection failover.

Versatile AV Configuration via Embedding / De-Embedding Audio
By embedding audio directly into the HDMI signal, both audio and video streams can be consolidated into a single HDMI connection, simplifying connectivity. Additionally, the audio can also be de-embedded to separate it from the video stream, ensuring compatibility with various audio systems when necessary.

Video Wall Distributions
VE8962 can integrate easily into any video wall setup for comprehensive, large-scale audiovisual presentations, delivering content across up to 80 displays (e.g., 8x10 array) in either portrait or landscape orientation (90°/270°).

Local HDMI Input for Real-Time Source Updates
In situations where a timely update is required on the spot, VE8962's HDMI input allows plug-and-play connection to a source device for quick content setup at the receiver site. With a remote switch connected to the Contact port, you can easily switch between local and remote content sources as needed.
