Vaddio's AV Bridge provides integrators the ability to integrate soft codecs such as Skype, Cisco Jabber, Microsoft Lync, as well as many more, into their traditional AV designs. The AV Bridge provides the digital USB gateway to allow the integration of PRO audio and video equipment into any PC software application.

Based on UVC/UAC USB standards, no special USB drivers need to be installed, and as a result, it works seamlessly with any software application running on any operating system that supports USB 2.0 devices. Whether you want to do a Skype video call or need to set up lecture capture using Panopto's software lecture application, the AV Bridge provides the USB connection to your AV system. Want to record or stream a meeting? Use the recording and streaming software of your choice - and AV Bridge will connect the audio and video sources.

The AV Bridge can support switchable balanced or unbalanced audio - and switchable HDMI, RGBHV, SD or HD component video inputs. Video inputs can be up or down converted as required. Outputs include USB 2.0 with HD UVC/UAC device support - or an Ethernet network interface for both IP control and streaming, supporting RTSP and HLS streaming clients.

The AV Bridge makes it simple to encode, capture and stream your AV content through a variety of PC applications or directly to the network. You now have a true digital gateway to capture, record and stream those legacy analog solutions.

The Vaddio™ AV Bridge CONFERENCE is a room based HD Media Streaming solution enabling IP or USB streaming. Like the original AV Bridge, it's an appliance that "bridges" the room's analog audio and video into a computer (PC or Mac) for UC applications, but with one important distinction. The AV Bridge CONFERENCE has been designed as an HD Encoder with 2-way analog audio to send the near-end audio to the far-end and return the far-end audio to the room's pro mixer with AEC.

The AV Bridge CONFERENCE offers a flexible A/V interface that is controllable with an embedded web server and the current settings are viewable from the front panel menu system. It accepts a multitude of video input resolutions from standard definition composite video (480i/NTSC and 576i/PAL) all the way up to HD 1080p/60 in HDMI and YPbPr, including the most relevant wide-screen VESA type PC resolutions (RGBHV or DVI).

The USB streaming functions using MJPEG (Motion JPEG) and standard UVC (Universal Video Class) with UAC (Universal Audio Class) drivers eliminate the need for installation of custom software drivers on the Host PC. The IP streaming uses RTSP or HLS (Apple's variant on HTTP streaming) and encodes H.264 video with AAC Audio. The Ethernet port also provides access to internal web pages for control, setup, and updating the software.

Use the AV Bridge CONFERENCE in UC conferencing applications to "bridge" video and audio signals into a PC or retrofit existing conference rooms by simply plugging a USB cable into a Host PC or connecting to an IP network.

The AV Bridge CONFERENCE supports high definition encoding of audio and video sources, producing superior quality results at the fraction of the cost of other similar products. It seamlessly integrates with Vaddio's HD cameras, presentation systems, video mixing consoles, and other pro audio products with AEC. The AV Bridge CONFERENCE is an unsurpassable value due to its ease of use, flexibility, and plug & play functionality.

Ideal for conferencing and lecture capture applications, AV Bridge MATRIX PRO combines audio and video mixing functionality into a single device, allowing you to add multiple cameras, microphones and other AV devices into a traditional AV room design.

Why have a full rack of gear when one device can do it all? The AV Bridge MATRIX PRO encoder provides a simple way to add multiple cameras, microphones and other AV devices to a traditional AV room design. It then manages the complex process of mixing, switching and controlling those devices into a single USB and IP stream.

Users get the advantage of integrating their PC-based platform and intuitive UC interface while being connected to multiple sensory inputs that provide a professional AV experience. At the same time, they also get access to cloud-based applications and a UC platform of choice for content creation and sharing, audio conferencing, video conferencing, and a multitude of other collaboration activities.

Ideal for lecture capture, conference rooms and video conferencing applications, the AV Bridge Mini encodes, captures and streams content from a convenient half-rack unit size.

With the AV Bridge Mini HD Audio/Video Encoder, you can bridge any high definition HDMI and audio source into soft conferencing applications such as Skype for Business, Zoom and WebEx through its powerful USB 3.0 interface. Creating production-quality live streams on platforms like YouTube Live, UStream, LiveStream and Panopto has never been easier with the AV Bridge Mini's flexible RTMP capabilities.

New! Vaddio Deployment Tool

Simplify installations by viewing all your Vaddio products across a deployment on one screen with the simple click of a button. The Vaddio Deployment Tool enables you to select devices from the network, choose an action like rebooting the device, unmute the audio, or updating firmware and voilà! - remote troubleshooting success. You can even conduct mass firmware updates on hundreds of devices all at once, which saves you a lot of time.

Vaddio's simplest lecture capture device yet! We call our AV Bridge 2x1 the classroom-in-a-box solution because it enables simple distribution, production, and capture of high-quality networked Dante audio, analog audio, and two HD video sources.

Two HDMI inputs allow you to connect either two cameras or a camera and PC display on a platform that easily switches between sources and delivers useful picture-in-picture (PIP) video streams. Concurrent 1080p USB 3.0, HDMI, and IP streaming allow for flexible video distribution. Use the AV Bridge 2x1 to simultaneously record to a local PC, magnify the speaker video through a room projector, and stream the lecture to popular online platforms - without the need for special drivers or additional applications.

The AV Bridge 2x1 has robust audio mixing capabilities as well. A 4x4 Dante I/O allows for scalable networked audio to meet the needs of any application. Install the AV Bridge 2x1 in your existing classroom designs by utilizing the 2-channel analog audio I/O and adding in new HD video sources.

Experience worry-free presentations with the automation features built into the AV Bridge 2x1. Connect Vaddio trigger devices like the StepVIEW Mat to recall a library of macros built into the web-based user interface. Control PIP settings, video sources, camera position presets and more with intuitive API integration for third party applications and control hardware. Available PIP layouts include side by side, top bottom, and your choice of four corner inset. Store graphic overlays such as a company logo or speaker name to add production quality to everyday events.

The AV Bridge 2x1 is excellent for videoconferencing applications. Share more of the conference room when in video calls. Switch between a view of the boardroom table and the action at the whiteboard without missing a beat. Participate with crystal clear audio through built-in echo cancellation, ensuring both sides of the conversation are heard without annoying feedback issues common with inexpensive audio devices.

The AV Bridge 2x1 is the must-have device you need for simple, reliable multi-camera installations.
