The network is now your problem
AV-over-IP means multicast, IGMP, VLANs and PoE budgets, skills that were never part of the AV installer's remit until they were.
For AV installers
AV-over-IP hardware, sourced and staged so the network never becomes your problem.
Modern AV runs on the network, which means the AV installer now inherits multicast, VLANs, PoE budgets and NVX or Dante topologies. When the switch is wrong, the video wall gets the blame. YOT supplies and stages the network and infrastructure layer behind AV projects, switches, cabling, racks, control and compute, configured for AV-over-IP before they reach site.
Sound familiar?
The problems AV installers bring to us most often.
Consumer-grade kit in professional jobs
A residential-grade switch under a video wall fails under multicast load, and the callback lands on you.
Racks arrive as a kit of parts
Building and cabling a rack on site burns a day of the installation window and rarely survives the van ride anyway.
How YOT works with AV installers
Switches configured for AV-over-IP
Managed switches supplied pre-configured for NVX, Dante and multicast AV traffic, with VLANs and IGMP snooping set before dispatch.
Professional infrastructure lines
Racks, structured cabling, PDUs and accessories from Digitus and Lanberg, sized and kitted for AV installations in commercial and marine environments.
Racks built and tested off-site
Through the rack configurator and Plug n' Go, racks arrive assembled, cabled, labelled and tested, site time is spent on the experience, not the wiring.
Networking support when you need it
Technical pre-sales helps you spec the network side of an AV design, so the first commissioning day is not the first time the topology is tested.
