First Time Set-up with the AV Bridge
The AV Bridge is a complex high definition Audio/Video encoder used as a USB streaming appliance that
provides a Plug & Play type interface (or bridge) between traditional A/V room equipment and a Host PC. The AV
Bridge facilitates the use of PC-Based lecture/capture, recording, editing, distribution or unified communications
(UC) software within group meeting spaces.
It is important to note that the audio and video can work together as inputs to the AV Bridge or audio and video
can be used separately depending on the requirements of the installation.
The AV Bridge is seriously easy and fun to operate, even the part time volunteer’s at the local House of Worship
will have no problem understanding how the AV Bridge works and how to set it up. The applications below depict
common room applications that can be supported with the AV Bridge.
