THE POWER OF THREE
Christian Thomas, marketing communications manager at WyreStorm, puts the maker’s
three AV over IP technologies in the spotlight with a look at the company’s NetworkHD
100/200 Series, 400 Series and upcoming 600 Series solutions, explaining why the
technology matters.

“Given the rapid advancement of technology and the
resulting flexibility demanded by today’s AV integrators,
going to market with just one technology is such an out-
of-date strategy.“ So, with our NetworkHD AV over IP line now offering considerably
more options for integrators and WyreStorm set to join the recently
established SDVoE Alliance before CEDIA 2017, now seems the perfect
time to highlight what each of our technologies bring to the AV over IP
party.
This quote from WyreStorm CEO, Derek Hulbert, neatly sums up the
company’s approach to product design and reveals why a two-year
development has culminated in WyreStorm being arguably the only
manufacturer to offer solutions across the five technology platforms
of HDMI, HDBaseT, and the three distinct AV over IP technologies used
in its award-winning NetworkHD line. NetworkHD 400 Series – Low Latency 4K over 1Gb
Launched this May to much anticipation, the 400 Series is
WyreStorm’s first NetworkHD solution to offer stunning, visually
lossless 4K HDR with multichannel audio over standard 1Gb network.
2017 has seen WyreStorm build on the success of our commercially-
focused NetworkHD 100 and 200 Series H.264 products with two new
4K over IP solutions that focus equally on residential and commercial
applications in the form of the JPEG2000 powered 400 Series and the
600 Series featuring the AptoVision BlueRiver chipset scheduled for
release this autumn.
Different platforms they maybe, but what ties all NetworkHD products
together is their shared system controller combined with an identical
configuration and dealer experience that allows installers to transition
between all the technologies based on the needs of their application
without needing to be retrained.
NetworkHD 400 Series
18 | July 2017
Based on the JPEG2000 platform, the 400 Series was developed
specifically to be equally as appealing for residential as well as
commercial applications where high quality and low latency of less
than a single frame are key requirements.
Supporting all SD, HD and 4K UHD formats with HDR, 400 Series
encoders and decoders feature auto-scaling to handle mixed 4K and
2K components within an install, while HDCP 2.2 compliance ensures
integration with the latest 4K content and sources is as hassle-free as
it gets.
