CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW 

1.1 Introduction

 

 

IPS provides a true 4K AV over IP solution with Zero compression and Zero latency, it also 
includes unmatched I/O density, shared infrastructure, increased I/O flexibility, and built-in 
scalability.  Based  on  this  structure, AVLink  controller  IPS-M  provides  an  efficient  way  to 
configure  the AV  over IP  system  upon  IPS-TX  and  IPS-RX. This  IPS-M  is  an API  based 
command server, and you can easily use PC to configure the IPS-TX and IPS-RX connected 
to Ethernet switch. The IPS-M can also monitor the status of each device within the network.
