The share of analog connections and proprietary cabling is continuously replaced by network technology in professional audio-video technology. Be it the microphone or the loudspeaker with PoE power supply up to the LED video wall or image computer with 10Gbit network connection. As with all new technical developments which offer many additional possibilities, there are also risks and additional know-how is needed in the planning. The risks arise e.g. in the area of data security and in eavesdropping of confidential meetings.

Therefore, more and more customers decide to integrate AV technology into their corporate network, where by means of network security the risks are minimized and the advantages of integrating AV technology clearly outweigh the risks. Points such as central monitoring, avoidance of duplicate infrastructure and lower maintenance costs make this step towards integration sensible and offer real added value. When integrating, a wide variety of issues must be considered in advance. These would include: Scalability, redundancy, division of network segments, company-wide administration, encryption, status messages via SNMP, integration into the helpdesk, rights management, multicast capability and inventory.

Due to many years of experience based on many successful integrations, the employees of Conceptions AG can actively support your company in the integration of AV components into your corporate network and thus contribute to a successful project.
