Investigating AV over IP Options Across Harvard

Project Mission:

AV over IP (Audio Visual over Internet Protocol) allows for audio, video and control signals to be transmitted, monitored and controlled via the internet. While this rapidly emerging technology is still in the early stages of adoption, it is quickly becoming mainstream across all industries and will eventually become the standard method of transmission for all audio-visual hardware and software. Our project will investigate, test, evaluate and recommend the best course of action in regard to this technological evolution. This collaboration, which will involve input from representatives from various Harvard schools meeting regularly to discuss and test various hardware and software configurations, will allow Harvard to influence and make informed decisions about future AV infrastructure.
