AVPro Edge MXNet 1G Evolution II AV-over-IP Encoder/Decoder - Encoder

AVPro Edge MXNet 1G Evolution II AV-over-IP Encoder/Decoder

The AVPro Edge MXNet 1G Evolution II AV-over-IP Encoder/Decoder family distributes professional video, audio, control, and USB signals across managed 1Gb networks. Available encoder, decoder, Dante, audio-downmixing, and weatherproof configurations support systems requiring native video up to DCI 4K60 with 4:4:4 chroma and high-bitrate immersive audio.

MXNet Evolution II endpoints suit commercial AV distribution, video walls, multi-zone systems, KVM applications, and networked installations that need flexible source-to-display routing. Standard encoder and decoder models cover core AV-over-IP transport, while Dante versions integrate network audio, the downmixing encoder provides two-channel analog extraction, and the weatherproof decoder supports demanding installation environments.

Evolution II endpoints use AVPro Edge video-processing technology with optimized compression, Genlock synchronization, USB and KVM routing, RS-232 and IR control, and Ethernet or SFP fiber connectivity. The platform supports HDR formats, multichannel audio, and managed Layer 3 network infrastructure while retaining compatibility with MXNet system control through MXNet Mentor.
