The IP-Loipgic ecosystem is an extremely scalable Audio/Video over Internet Protocol (AVoIP)
solution designed to distribute audio, video, and control over standard Internet Protocol (IP)
networking. The modularity of the IP-Logic system allows for the utilization of standard Network
switch topologies and Ethernet cabling infrastructures (Copper or Optical) to distribute and
connect a large number of AV sources and displays.
The IP-Logic RX and TX series employs SDVoE technology to distribute up to UHD video over 10G
network. With resolutions up to 4K/60Hz 4:4:4, 4K/60Hz Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG,
HDCP 2.3 video, and an independent AES67 digital audio distribution, the IP-Logic series is the
superior platform for distributing nearly lossless AV over IP multimedia.
Component Descriptions
The IP-Logic series consist of hardware and software components that make up the entire AVoIP
ecosystem. This modularized approach reduces overall system costs by mixing and matching only
the required number of components during customer deployment.
Essentials
The Essentials unit is the control server for all IP-Logic AVoIP devices. This unit is the main
interface for all AV Transmitters and Receivers, providing the interface to select media content
from a Transmitter and displaying it to a single or multiple endpoint Receivers. Every parameter
used to control any IP-Logic device passes through an Essentials unit and only a single Essentials
device is required per installation.
Essentials feature auto discovery of all supported IP-Logic components within the network, Web
based Graphical User Interface (GUI), and support for the most popular third-party control
systems to enable the most flexible configuration of AVoIP subsystems.
Essentials has two LAN ports. Ethernet 1 is assigned to connect to the facility network and must
have Internet access for downloading the latest firmware/software. Ethernet 1 is also used to
connect Essentials to control systems such as Crestron, RTI, Control4, etc.
Ethernet 2 is assigned for the IP-Logic private network and must be isolated from the facility
network. Ethernet 2 will only be used for AVoIP network traffic.
