The visionary announced
As the winner of NSCA's 7th Annual Product Innovation Excellence Award. The Product Innovation Excellence Award (EPI) is not a pay-as-you-go award, but a recognition of products that have a profound impact on system integrators. Visionary's PacketAV Duet Wallplate encoder with Bluetooth function and Bluetooth technology were awarded the 2021 overall award.
Mike Abernathy, Director of NSCA Business Resources, said: "Congratulations on the vision." "The 2021 Outstanding Product Innovation Award was selected by the NSCA Emerging Technology Committee, which is committed to enabling and disruptive technologies to help build awareness in the NSCA community. "
"Visionary won the NSCA Product Innovation Excellence Award for its newly launched PacketAV Duet wall panel encoder with Bluetooth function," said Scott Freshman, Chief Operating Officer of Visionary. As HDBaseT is replaced by AV over IP, end users and system integrators expect continued product form factor compatibility and usability. Hundreds of HDBaseT wall panels from many different manufacturers. The size factor of the wall panel has become indispensable in many commercial AV installations, but it turns out that it is difficult for manufacturers to design AV wall panels on IP to meet this customary demand. Usually, this depends on the thermal characteristics of the available IP over AV technology and the thermal limitations of reliable and durable hardware design. Compared with HDBaseT, IP-based AV codecs require more power, which leads to more heat. Visionaries have been able to overcome these challenges and deliver next-generation terminals in the form that our market has become accustomed to. We understand that the "Excellent Product Innovation Award" has attracted many unique new products to participate. We are very grateful to NSCA for its recognition of the PacketAV Duet Wallplate encoder. "
The PacketAV Duet Wallplate encoder is the world's first HDMI-over-IP wallplate with built-in Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. The wallboard encoder provides powerful 4K UHD video, Dante and AES67 audio embedding and de-embedding functions, and has an internal VLAN tagging function, which can separate audio and video network traffic through a single Gigabit Ethernet (PoE) port. It can be easily installed in a standard two-seater American or British trunk without any modification, and can be easily installed on a wall, desktop, podium or floor box. The PacketAV Duet Wallplate encoder supports two-way smart phone connection via Bluetooth, which is used for web conference software codec AV integration, while eliminating the need for separate bridging hardware.
