The Just Add Power VBS-HDIP-718AVP is an advanced AV-over-IP transmitter designed for high-performance, low-latency distribution of Ultra HD video and audio signals over standard Gigabit Ethernet networks. As part of the "A/V Pro" series with DSP enhancement, this device encodes video inputs—including HDMI up to 4K resolution with support for HDR (High Dynamic Range)—into IP packets for transmission across a managed network switch infrastructure. It is specifically engineered for professional installations such as digital signage networks, command and control centers, broadcast facilities, and high-end residential systems where multiple sources must be distributed to numerous displays with flawless synchronization and minimal delay. The inclusion of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) capabilities allows for advanced audio management, including matrix mixing, level control, and delay, directly within the transmitter, offloading these tasks from central processors and providing greater system design flexibility.

A key feature of this transmitter is its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE+), which simplifies installation by delivering both data and operational power over a single Cat6/Cat6a cable. This eliminates the need for local power outlets at each transmitter location, reducing clutter and installation costs. The device is designed for zero-frame latency when used with compatible Just Add Power receivers, ensuring that live video feeds, interactive content, and real-time data visualization remain perfectly synchronized across all endpoints, a critical requirement for broadcast and live production applications. The transmitter also supports features like HDCP 2.2 compliance for protected content, automatic EDID management, and seamless switching to prevent screen blanking during source changes.

The unit's robust metal housing is built for 24/7 operation and rack-mountable installation, often used in conjunction with a large-scale Just Add Power ecosystem managed by the company's intuitive configuration software. This software allows integrators to create video walls, assign sources to any display, manage audio zones, and monitor system health. By leveraging existing network infrastructure to distribute uncompromised Ultra HD A/V signals with advanced audio processing and PoE convenience, the VBS-HDIP-718AVP transmitter provides a scalable, future-proof solution for creating flexible and powerful AV distribution systems that can be easily expanded and reconfigured as needs evolve.
