M-JPEG – AV-o-IP in the 1Gbps format does not have an international standardized protocol that can be considered a complete specification (unlike, for example, MPEG-2). This is one reason different manufacturers utilize various codecs, each touting their implementation as the best. AVPro Edge uses a proprietary Motion JPEG codec based on our Imaging Science Foundation experience and the parameters required to produce superb image fidelity for AV-o-IP. The codec AVPro Edge engineers developed and implemented in MXnet 1G focuses on having our encoders and decoders produce the best picture quality for AV-o-IP 1G and not overly ambitious and misleading specifications. Many devices in the marketplace declare compatibility with high-bitrate codecs but exhibit dreadful real-world performance. 

GENLOCK Support – Genlock is a professional video technology that synchronizes the video output from one source to all devices receiving that signal. Genlock prevents artifacts when switching sources, essential for video walls and areas where multiple displays are observable and all exhibiting the same image.

Data Window – A front-facing built-in mini OLED screen on MXnet 1G encoders displays vital set-up and troubleshooting information, such as IP and MAC addresses, or twelve-character custom source names using MXnet MENTOR. 

Encoder External Illumination Control – The mini OLED and various LEDs on the encoder chassis provide important status information, however, it may be preferable for discrete operation that no light be output by the encoder. Using MXnet MENTOR, control over the visibility of the device may be easily adjusted.   

Control Signal Routing – RS-232 and IR control signals may be routed via an AC-MXNET-1G-E encoder. Routes, through a network switch, are plotted in MXnet MENTOR with paths directed to MXnet 1G decoders and subsequently passed through to connected devices. 

USB and KVM Support – Encoders feature USB-B host connections, enabling keyboard/mouse connection and routing to an upstream decoder. MXnet MENTOR software specifies which encoder will serve as the Host plus the USB device connected to the designated decoder.  

Netgear Support – MXnet and Netgear engineers have collaborated to ensure Netgear switches are capable of supporting MXnet encoder and decoder operation. The “AVPro Edge Profile” loaded into a designated Netgear switch enables seamless compatibility between products.
