Lightware Visual Engineering, a manufacturer of connectivity solutions for the professional integrated systems market and a pioneer in signal management, has announced its new Taurus TPN and Gemini GVN products, designed to deliver flexible AVoIP connectivity in hybrid work and meeting room AV environments.
The Lightware Taurus TPN is a device for large meeting rooms, boardrooms, and conference settings. It offers USB-C and SDVoE technology for high-quality HDMI 2.0 4K60 4:4:4 matrix switching over 10G Ethernet networks, with a range of up to 100m.
Its independent USB 2.0 matrix switching layer supports multiple devices, providing users with automated and manual switching options. Lightware says this is designed to make the Taurus TPN a good solution for dynamic, high-performance environments.
The solution enables organisations to create an ecosystem of networked devices and screens from a single source. Content can be sent anywhere, enabling organisations to unlock a more versatile meeting room experience.
For larger and more complex AV installations, the Lightware Gemini GVN is a more powerful IP-based matrix switching solution. Operating on a 1G Ethernet network, the GEMINI GVN boasts low power consumption (~10W), while being able to handle 4K60 4:4:4.
Equipped with Lightware’s Advanced EDID Management system, the Gemini GVN is designed to ensure that the decoders are capable of scaling HDMI 2.0 video signals up to a maximum resolution of 4K60 either on CAT (up to 100m) or on fibre optics (up to 10km) with HDR, HDR+, and Dolby Vision support. Lightware says it is built for mission-critical environments such as control rooms, broadcast centres and high-end corporate use cases.
Gergely Vida, CEO of Lightware, said: “Today’s hybrid working environments are at their best when supported by high-performance AV infrastructure and connectivity solutions, such as the Taurus TPN and Gemini GVN. By meeting this growing market need, we are enabling systems integrators and customers to deliver transformative collaborative experiences that today’s digital-centric organisations are looking for.”
