The introduction of the GVN-HC-TX220AP expands Lightware’s Gemini GVN AV-over-IP range with a transmitter that combines video, USB 2.0, audio, Ethernet and up to 100W power delivery over a single USB-C connection. A secondary HDMI and USB-C host path is also provided for rooms that require support for multiple local sources, while configurable auto-switching allows the system to change between USB-C and HDMI inputs automatically based on signal presence or predefined priorities.
Designed for 1G AV-over-IP deployments, the transmitter supports 4K60 4:4:4 video transmission with 3ms latency. Alongside USB-over-IP support for devices including webcams, microphones, speakerphones and HID peripherals, the unit also incorporates bidirectional USB audio connectivity.
Additional features include an HDMI loop-through output for local monitoring, a stereo analogue audio port that can operate as either an input or output, dual RJ45 ports and an SFP cage for copper and fibre connectivity. For applications requiring audio networking, the GVN-HC-TX220AP-DNT variant adds bidirectional Dante connectivity for routing audio between USB, HDMI, analogue and Dante domains.
The transmitter integrates with Lightware’s GVN Matrix Management Unit for centralised configuration, monitoring and device management, and can be powered via PoE or PoE+.
