Designing AV distribution that works

AV distribution is a design job before it is a shopping job. Get the source count, display count, distances and control method clear first, and the hardware choice usually follows without much argument.

Three questions decide most systems. How many sources need to reach how many displays, and does every display need independent access to every source? What is the longest cable run, and can it be Cat6 or does it need fibre? What audio has to come out of the video path, and where does it need to arrive? Answer those and the specification largely writes itself.

The details that cause problems later are EDID handling, HDCP version support and control integration. A system that works on day one can fail when a source is replaced with one using a newer HDCP version, so specify with some headroom. IR, RS232 and IP control all need planning at design stage rather than after the cable is in the wall. If you are specifying a system, send us the layout and we will work through it with you.

HDMI over IP, sometimes called AV over IP, converts video and audio into IP packets that can be distributed across a standard Ethernet network. This approach allows for scalable and flexible AV systems with extended reach, simplified control, and cost-effective multi-display installations. CYP Europe’s AV over IP solutions provide future-ready performance that integrates seamlessly into modern networks.

These devices allow one or multiple HDMI sources to feed multiple displays. A splitter duplicates the signal, while a matrix switch lets you send different inputs to different screens.

For distances over 10m, use active HDMI, HDBaseT extenders, or fibre HDMI cables. These maintain 4K/8K signal quality without loss.

Passive devices simply split signals, while active ones boost and equalise them to prevent degradation. Active systems are essential for long runs or multiple outputs.

Use an EDID manager or compatible distribution amplifier. This ensures all connected devices communicate correctly and avoid handshake issues.
