Lewis CaliburnVanco International LLC has announced the next generation of its award-winning EVO-IP HDMI over IP system. EVO-IP 2.0 with KVM and eARC/ARC is a comprehensive solution that allows for easy and seamless setup for large-scale HDMI implementations.
With robust features including fibre output options, independent routing for audio and control, KVM support, eARC/ARC audio distribution and Dante Ready capabilities, EVO-IP 2.0 is more powerful than ever before.
EVO-IP Setup is Even Easier
EVO-IP 2.0 has three components: the EVOIPCTL2 EVO-IP 2.0 Control Box, EVOIPTX2 Transmitter and EVOIPRX2 Receiver. EVO-IP 2.0 devices can be powered via PoE or with the included power supply for maximum flexibility in installation.
A single EVO-IP 2.0 Control Box can manage large scale deployments exceeding 1,000 endpoints. It automatically detects connected sources and sinks, and AV pros can set up and manage all devices with the user-friendly GUI. The EVO-IP 2.0 GUI features a drop-down interface option in addition to the original tile-based interface, enabling single-pane-of-glass management for larger video networks.
The EVO-IP 2.0 Control Box’s dual network interfaces isolate AV networks and enterprise networks, enabling reliable transmission over standard LAN networks without additional VLAN setup.
AV pros can use standard network switches and a common LAN to connect all devices in the EVO-IP 2.0 network; the control box protects other network devices from receiving multicast traffic.
Deliver HDMI and KVM Anywhere
EVO-IP 2.0 offers independently routable audio, video and control signals for reportedly limitless configuration flexibility. The solution transmits 4:4:4 4K video @60Hz with support for HDR and HDCP 2.2 and downscaling to 720p. This solution also delivers USB and KVM signals over the network, with two USB 2.0 ports on each transmitter and receiver unit.
EVO-IP 2.0 features CEC pass-through and supports IP, IR and RS-232 control signals and
supports immersive audio and routing including eARC/ARC and features optical and S/DPIF audio breakouts.
EVO-IP components also ship with Dante Ready chipsets, allowing integrators to purchase and add additional audio channels even after installation. With options for analogue, digital and fully IP-based audio distribution, EVO-IP 2.0 offers truly unmatched audio distribution flexibility with future-proof scaling options, says the manufacturer.
EVO-IP 2.0 features Cat cable, multimode fibre and single mode fiber outputs and it can transmit up to 100m over Cat 6/6A, multimode fibre can reach up to 300m and single mode fibre transmission can reach 6km.
These new physical layer options make EVO-IP suitable for applications ranging from private homes to the largest campus deployments.
EVO-IP is also TAA-compliant, a critical requirement for federal and federally-funded projects in the United States.
One Solution, Endless Video Applications
In addition to HDMI point-to-point, splitter, switch and matrix functionality, EVO-IP 2.0 features built-in support for videowall and digital signage applications. This solution supports videowall configurations with up to 25 displays, while the OSD mode enables users to upload and display logos, text, or photos as either an overlay or digital signage content.
A cloud-based interface allows users and integrators to manage, control and troubleshoot connected devices remotely. Users can turn individual devices or the whole system on and off with a single command, schedule events and manage videowall configurations and digital signage content.
All leading third-party control systems are compatible with EVO-IP 2.0, but none is required, making this a simple and affordable networked AV distribution solution.
“AV pros have always loved EVO-IP’s flexibility and ease of use, and EVO-Ip 2.0 takes those features to a whole new level,” says Mark Corbin, President of Vanco. “Installers will love the painless setup; network managers will love the automated traffic isolation; and everyone will love how easy it is to deliver streaming content, immersive audio, and KVM alongside stunning, lossless video.”
EVO-IP 2.0 will make its world debut at ISE 2025. Visit Vanco on booth 5N100 to see the new solution in action.
