What is IPBaseT®?
The Ultimate Solution for 4K AV Distribution Over IP
Aurora’s IPBaseT® combines a variety of 4K IP technologies and features under one unified protocol using a simplified topology. Uncompressed video with zero-latency, visually lossless video with low latency, seamless switching, videowall and multiviewer modes, digital audio, USB 2.0, Ethernet, and control are just some of the core capabilities of IPBaseT®. Utilizing the bandwidth of a standard 1Gbps copper (VLX Series) or 10Gbps copper or Fiber (IPX Series), IPBaseT® supports large scalable audio/video matrixing, and it does so while replacing multiple technologies and products with a “single-box” distributed platform. The days of needing a separate AV switcher, control system, videowall processor, audio/DSP converter, and more are a thing of the past!
Training Overview:
This day-long course starts with an interactive session covering the basics of IP networking, followed by hands-on training exploring an AV-over-IP system. It includes the installation, configuration and management aspects of the system including encoders and decoders as well as the management platform, which drives configuration and content management.
IPBaseT training sessions will make AV Engineers learn what they need to know to leverage the standard for high performance AV network deployments in education, healthcare, enterprise, entertainment, hospitality, retail, houses of worship, government, military, industry and security.
Upon Completion:
Upon completion of the course, attendees will be able to:
- Understand the basics of IP network communication

Within the AV Project Gallery Walk of Fame area, design consultant and integrators can display and highlight graphic and/or video presentations of their best and bespoke projects with succinct explanation of all the technologies integrated in the design on interactive / touch screen displays.
Anil Chopra, Director, AV Integrated Systems expo & PALM expo, enthuses on the new opportunities “The expo is indeed going to result in quantum growth. In a robust market with innumerable AV projects we see a great need to provide education and training toward which the expo will in fact contribute consciously. Promise is to be neutral with the objective to spread information.
As such our focus is the engineering talent pool who must be introduced to global best practices, standards and specifications.”
