Platform Overview

This section provides comprehensive technical information about the SDVoE technology foundation and how DisplayNet implements and extends it to deliver professional AV-over-IP solutions.

The SDVoE Foundation​

Software Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE) represents a paradigm shift in professional AV distribution. Unlike traditional proprietary AV systems, SDVoE leverages standard 10GbE Ethernet infrastructure to deliver uncompressed video and audio signals with zero frame latency.

SDVoE is more than just a transmission standard—it's a complete ecosystem encompassing:

  • Specialized chipsets for real-time AV processing
  • Standard network hardware (off-the-shelf 10GbE switches)
  • Software APIs for system control and integration
  • Scalable architecture from small rooms to enterprise installations

DisplayNet's SDVoE Implementation​

DisplayNet utilizes and strategically extends SDVoE technology to create a unified platform that replaces multiple traditional AV hardware components with dynamic software-based features. Where traditional installations require separate matrix switchers, video wall processors, multiviewers, and extenders, DisplayNet provides all these capabilities in a single, software-configurable system.

Key technical advantages include:

  • Uncompressed 4K/30p transmission with zero latency
  • Light compression 4K/60p with imperceptible quality loss
  • Multi-layer signal routing (video, audio, control, data)
  • Standard IT infrastructure compatibility
