Visionary just announced the 5 Series, the next-generation of Visionary’s PacketAV Matrix Series endpoints with 4K60 4:4:4 1GbE encoders and decoders. The 5 Series introduces a range of advanced capabilities, including 4K60 4:4:4 video support, Audio Return Channel (ARC)-over-IP, isochronous USB-over-IP for webcam extension and a full motion MJPEG substream.

Building on the foundation of Visionary’s revolutionary PacketAV Matrix 4 Series, which introduced the world’s first AV-over-IP endpoints with USB-C I/O for seamless soft-codec integration, the 5 Series raises the bar with an array of innovative features and enhanced performance. The 5 Series boasts 4K60 4:4:4 video support to deliver clear image quality and color depth without compromising bandwidth. Featuring ARC-over-IP, the 5 Series enables audio to be returned from a display or endpoint to the source without additional connectivity requirements. The 5 Series integrates isochronous USB-over-IP to simplify webcam extension over IP for enhanced video conferencing and remote collaboration. Designed for remote monitoring and simplified video distribution, the 5 Series includes a full-motion MJPEG substream to provide users with a secondary, lower-bandwidth video stream.

Visionary’s new 5 Series is designed to meet the ever-growing demands of the professional AV market. The 5 Series offers performance, reliability and flexibility, making them the perfect solution for various applications, from conference rooms and huddle spaces to large-scale video distribution and digital signage. Packed with new features and built on Visionary’s legacy of innovation, the 5 Series redefines the future of professional AV solutions. Visionary’s 5 Series will complement the current lineup of PacketAV Matrix 4 Series endpoints, which continue to garner immense success with many unique installations and monumental projects.
