MXnet
Networked Video Ecosystem
MXNet is the AV over IP video distribution ecosystem from AVPro Edge. With the MXNet Ecosystem, integrators finally have an end-to-end solution developed with them in mind. Our engineering team focused on three things, stability of the entire system, interoperability with any HDMI source, display, USB device, or control system, and easy deployment of the entire system. MXNet allows for unlimited sources, displays, USB devices & video walls; MXNet is the perfect video distribution system for your next installation.
The Ecosystem
Below you can find each component of the ecosystem. Putting an ecosystem together is simple, with these determining questions you will know exactly what your installation calls for:
How many Sources? (this determines how many Encoder units you will need)
How many Displays? (this determines how many Decoder units you will need)
What type of signals are you using? 4K or 1080p (this determines how much data is needed)

Network Switch Selection Guide
This guide will help you determine the model of network switch as well as the amount you will need for your next installation. We based the below chart on the number of “end points” you will be using, an “end point” is any place the audio/video signal starts or ends. The AC-MXNET-CBOX-HA is the controller device and you will need to dedicate one end point for control. Once you know how many sources and displays are in a system you can pick the correct switch layout.
Every system needs a Controller for signal switching, so make sure you dedicate one endpoint for the AC-MXNET-CBOX-HA.
