P-AVN-2E - Overview

Reliable IPMX Encoder Perfect for Broadcast and Production!

The PlexusAV P-AVN-2E IPMX Encoder delivers professional-grade video performance in a compact design. Purpose-built for encoding HDMI or USB-C inputs, it converts high-resolution signals into efficient, low-latency IP streams using H.264 or H.265 compression. With PoE+ power, advanced audio integration, and an intuitive web interface, the P-AVN-2E empowers reliable, real-time video delivery across classrooms, conference rooms, and production environments-all while ensuring seamless compatibility with IPMX-based AV networks.

The P-AVN-2E is built for environments where high-quality encoding and IP-based video delivery are essential. Supporting HDMI and USB-C inputs with H.264/H.265 compression, it enables efficient, low-latency video transmission across 1Gbps networks. Designed on IPMX standards, the P-AVN-2E provides a scalable, cost-effective solution for education, corporate AV, and production workflows that demand reliability and interoperability.

Applications:
• Educational and Corporate AV
• Digital Signage
• Live Production
• Virtual Events and eSports
• Broadcast and Production

What Is IPMX? (Internet Protocol Media Experience)
IPMX is the only true open standard for AV-over-IP, allowing products to be spec'd from multiple manufacturers. Being locked into a single ecosystem is the old-tech way of doing things, and that's why with PlexusAV, you never have to worry about spec'ing the wrong or right product - it just works thanks to IPMX. PlexusAV means 100% compatibility, reliability and performance.Is a proposed set of open standards and specifications to enable the carriage of compressed and uncompressed video, audio and data over IP networks for the pro AV market. It includes provisions for control, copy protection, connection management and security.

IPMX takes an open-standards approach to ensure that accessibility, ease of use, and implementation are available to all. The authors of its components come from organizations that represent the best interests of the pro AV market as a whole, rather than the interests of the few. This is in contrast to other solutions that, while calling themselves standards, are owned by a single entity that controls their intellectual property and usage, whether it is in the form of hardware, software, or a combination of the two. IPMX builds on foundational work from SMPTE, AWMA, and VSF.
