Savant announces new features to UP video and audio product line-up
Savant has announced an enhancement of its distributed video and audio-over-IP solutions by adding new hardware options for features such as audio processing, larger system configuration flexibility and more affordable input/output options.
The company says many of the new features added to the IP video and audio products were engineered based on feedback from Savant’s network of integrators.
As part of the enhancements, Savant’s IP video platform with 4K/60 4:4:4 resolution now comes with onboard audio processing, available with either four or eight ports of inputs. Two-channel audio is automatically extracted and down mixed off of surround modes then distributed over the network to be picked up by any IP audio device in the home.

Savant has also unveiled new single input and output boxes for the IP video line that allow integrators to add single sources or displays to the distributed video system easily. This eliminates the need for a costly chassis expansion and is idea for jobs that don’t require audio processing or complex video processing.
For performance and connectivity options for the IP video system, Savant is offering an array of new network switches including a 96 port 10Gb Netgear switch with a new modular chassis. This allows for a mix of fibre and copper as well as 1Gb, 10Gb and 40Gb ports for potential future scalability. The solution can support up to 95 video inputs or outputs.
Additionally, larger 12 and 24 port AVB switches from Extreme Networks are now available to Savant integrators via the Savant Store, allowing for large scale IP Audio distribution.
For audio connections over extended distances, a new IP Audio box is available with 16-channels (eight zones) of balanced outputs. These maintain quality even in remote zones despite longer cable runs. Balanced IP audio device receives audio signal over the AVB network from any Savant IP audio enabled device.
