XB5 AVIP Conferencing Bridge

Single-Cable Connection

• Simplifies connectivity at the conference table by combining video, audio, Ethernet, and power into a single USB-C cable. Users can plug in once to instantly connect their laptop to the room’s networked displays, cameras, microphones, and speakers — no adapters or extra cables required.

Note: Source devices must support DisplayPort Alt Mode for USB Type-C or Thunderbolt.

Universal Platform Compatibility

• Operates natively with Windows®, macOS®, and ChromeOS™ devices using standard UVC (USB Video Class) and UAC (USB Audio Class) protocols. No drivers or software installation are required, ensuring plug-and-play operation for virtually any user device.

Soft-Codec Integration

• Enables seamless conferencing with Microsoft Teams®, Zoom®, Google Meet®, and other USB-based collaboration platforms, allowing users to leverage the same professional-grade room AV infrastructure for familiar soft-codec applications.

 Professional AV Network Integration

• Bridges personal devices directly to Visionary’s PacketAV® ecosystem, connecting laptops to networked displays, cameras, Dante® microphones, loudspeakers, and DSPs. Users gain immediate access to the room’s professional AV system for high-quality meetings and presentations.

21:9 Ultrawide Display Support

• Supports 21:9 aspect ratio video for next-generation ultrawide conferencing displays. Enables immersive meeting experiences with enhanced layouts such as Microsoft Teams Front Row and other collaboration platforms designed for panoramic viewing and inclusive participant engagement.

Reliable Wired Networking

• Provides a dedicated Ethernet connection, removing dependence on shared or unreliable Wi-Fi networks. Ensures stable bandwidth, consistent performance, and superior quality for BYOD conferencing sessions in high-density environments.
• Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps)

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.

Enterprise Level Security –AES Encryption, 802.1x, HTTPS, SSHHTTPS, 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

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.

LLDP Support

• Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a protocol used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a local area network based on IEEE 802 technology
• Allows for dynamic control of endpoints based on automatic discovery of physical location

USB-C Interface with Power Delivery

• Supports 4K60 4:4:4 video, high-fidelity audio, data, and up to 100 W of USB-C charging power through one cable. Keeps BYOD laptops powered during meetings while simultaneously routing AV and data across the network.

Optional External Power Adapter

• When full 100 W USB-C laptop charging is required, the XB5 supports an external power supply for maximum device compatibility and flexibility in higher-power BYOD applications.

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.

Dynamically Optimized (Adaptive) bit-rate compression CODEC w/ built-in AI

• 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])

Single Main 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.

Auto Video Scaler

• No need to worry about configuring the source resolution
• 4K in/1080P out, 1080P in/4K out

Independent Routing

• Independently route all signals with the ability to separately matrix video, audio (including Dante®/AES67), USB.

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.

Seamless Fast Switching

• Tearing free, no black screen, no frame lock

Control

• Vision Lite Control Software
• 3rd Party Control Drivers [Crestron, QSC, Symetrix, etc.]
• *API providing access to the full range of features offered
  to qualified System Integrators

Isochronous USB 2.0 over IP

• Enables real-time data transfer for USB devices, such as webcams and microphones, over the network from any decoder to the XB5. 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. *** Supports Data Limits up to 200Mb

QoS Support

• Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that prioritizes network traffic resulting in performance improvement for critical network traffic

Dynamic OSD text overlay capabilities

• The ability to overlay dynamic or fixed text on screen enables displaying of alerts, announcements, special instructions, clocks / timers, schedules, and other messaging
