Features
USB-C Connectivity
- Connect easily and share media from your Mac, Laptop, Tablet, Mobile, and Other USB-C enabled devices
- Note: Not all devices will be compatible; Source devices must support DisplayPort Alt Mode for USB Type-C or Thunderbolt.
One Gigabit LAN Port for 4K60 4:4:4 Video, Dante®/AES67, Control, and Powered Device (PD)
- A single Ethernet port for Video over IP and Dante®/AES67 audio embedding and de-embedding, with VLAN tagging capability to separate Audio & Video network traffic as needed
Bluetooth® Audio Connectivity
- Bluetooth® 5.0 for extended range, faster data throughput, and more reliable connections
- Bluetooth® Audio bridge for Dante®
- Supports both A2DP profile for media streaming and Hands Free Profile (HFP) for bi-directional smartphone bridging
- Connect easily and share audio from your Mac, Laptop,Tablet, Mobile, and Other Bluetooth® enabled devices
AES67 and Dante® Audio Support
- Provides embedded and de-embedded network audio integration for professional AV environments. Allows easy routing of room microphones, loudspeakers, and DSP-processed signals over standard IP infrastructure.
Full Motion MJPEG Substream
- Maximize bandwidth efficiency and enhance video quality with a full motion MJPEG substream, delivering smooth, high-quality video feeds for preview or monitoring purposes without impacting the primary 4K60 4:4:4 video stream.
Mass Configuration
- Auto Discover all endpoints on the network, export to .CSV file (all configurable parameters included), make changes offline, upload .CSV file through embedded web page of encoder/decoder and push configuration to the network
- No external software required – mass configuration capabilities built into the endpoint embedded webpage UI
Fanless, Silent Design
- Features a solid-state, fanless architecture for silent operation and improved reliability. Ideal for boardrooms, classrooms, and other acoustically sensitive environments where noise is undesirable.
QoS Support
- Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that prioritizes network traffic resulting in performance improvement for critical network traffic
Enterprise Level Security –AES Encryption, 802.1x, HTTPS, SSH
Enterprise applications demand a secure Network AV solution
- AES Stream Encryption – The Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, is a worldwide standard and was adopted as the standard encryption algorithm by the U.S. government for encrypting classified information
- HTTPS Secure API – Using secure SSL/TLS communications HTTPS provides integrity that a client is communicating with the real API and receiving back authentic data. It also ensures privacy for applications and users using the API
- 802.1x Authentication for Network access control – 802.1X provides a secure authentication mechanism for any device trying to access a network
- SSH Network Protocol – SSH is a network protocol used to remotely access and manage a device through command line communications. The key difference between Telnet (used by other AV over IP manufacturers) and SSH is that SSH uses encryption, which means that all data transmitted over a network is secure
4K60 4:4:4 Video Support
- Experience ultra-high-definition video with 4K resolution at 60 frames per second and full 4:4:4 color sampling for unparalleled image quality, suitable for professional applications where every detail matters.
Isochronous USB 2.0 over IP
- Enables real-time data transfer for USB devices, such as webcams and microphones, over the network. This feature simplifies the deployment of video conferencing solutions and offers greater flexibility in AV system design. By leveraging the AV over IP infrastructure, it allows seamless integration and extension of USB peripherals.

Dynamically Optimized (Adaptive) bit-rate compression CODEC w/ built-in AI
- Visionary’s highly efficient video compression codec is a modified full frame encoding that dynamically optimizes for fine lines (computer generated graphics) or motion video by using sophisticated AI to analyze the input source content. Actively matching the level of compression to a scene by leveraging periods of low motion video content reduces the stream’s size and enhances performance – enabling, without compromising image quality, Visually Lossless transmission of computer generated graphics or full-motion video sources.
- Adjustable Video Bitrate: (50 – 200 Mbps or Auto [800Mbps max])
