AV Bridge USB and IP Streaming Device
Page 1
Overview
Vaddio’s AV Bridge is a room based HD Media
Streaming appliance for USB and IP streaming of
content originating from traditional audio and video
equipment. The AV Bridge is designed for pro AV
applications offering a flexible audio and video
interface that’s controllable from an embedded web
server or front panel menu. A/V Bridge accepts a
multitude of video input resolutions from standard definition (480i/NTSC and 576i/PAL) up to HD 1080p/60 in
HDMI and YPbPr, including wide-screen VESA type PC resolutions (RGBHV) and it also incorporates stereo
audio inputs facilitating connection to professional AV equipment.
The USB streaming functions using MJPEG (Motion JPEG) and standard UVC (USB Video Class) with UAC
(USB Audio Class) drivers eliminating the need for installation of custom software drivers on the Host PC. The IP
streaming uses RTSP and HLS (Apple’s variant on HTTP streaming) and encodes H.264 video with AAC Audio.
The Ethernet port also provides access to internal web pages for control, set-up and updating the AV Bridge.
Use the AV Bridge in lecture/capture recording applications to “bridge” video and audio signals into a PC for
recording, storage, editing, rebroadcasting meetings or worship services and retrofit existing meeting rooms by
simply plugging a USB cable into a Host PC or connecting to an IP network.
The AV Bridge supports high definition encoding of audio and video sources, producing superior quality results at
the fraction of the cost of other products. The AV Bridge seamlessly integrates with Vaddio’s HD cameras,
presentation systems, video mixing consoles and audio products. The AV Bridge is an unsurpassable value
because of its ease of use and plug and play functionality.
Intended Use
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and
tested for use indoors, with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the one
provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially
unsafe operating condition.
Important Safeguards
Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged.
In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.
Do not connect Power over Ethernet (PoE) cables directly to the RJ-45 ports on the device as damage
may result.
Product Updates
From time to time Vaddio issues firmware updates for our products, which may render some information in this
manual inaccurate. Please check the current product release notes on
information.
Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized
power supply will void any and all warranties.
Do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. If they are crimped incorrectly, they can damage the
connectors on the product, cause intermittent connections, and degrade signal quality. Physical
damage to the connectors will void your warranty. For best results use standard RJ-45 connectors
and test all cables for proper pin-outs prior to use.
