While the superyacht industry has largely kept pace with land-based AV advancements, streaming remained a bridge too far – until now. With fast global marine broadband unlocking new possibilities, AV-over-IP is finally finding its sea legs. What does this mean for AV architecture on board, and how is it transforming guest control interfaces?

The Atlona AT-GAIN-M50-LZ is a two-input mixer amplifier for low impedance classrooms and commercial spaces. It features audio ducking, lowering background sound when a mic is active, and PA mute for clear announcements.

No matter which end of the AV or IT spectrum your devices and systems reside, these 25 industry thought leaders offer insights into the transition to IP, trends in The State of AV/IT today, and predictions for the next few years.

Drawing from extensive field experience and its dedicated ST 2110 training program, NETGEAR shares guidance for building IPMX-only networks and also hybrid environments requiring precise timing, QoS, and traffic segmentation. This session covers topology planning, clocking strategies, multicast management, and other key infrastructure considerations for converged media networks. WATCH

A major U.S. Navy Department of Defense (DoD) research, development, test, and training facility was relying on a patchwork of aging analog and digital systems, including matrix switchers, hardware-based processors, and dedicated cabling, which created rigid infrastructure, high complexity, and limited flexibility. Multiple rooms served diverse operational purposes-- training, testing, and monitoring--yet a small technical team was responsible for managing all AV systems.
Partnering with Parker Group, the Navy implementedan AV-over-IP backbone for its transformation into one of the largest high-security IP operations.
