How it works

The INOGENI IP2USB allows you to easily connect IP-based cameras to a laptop or UC system via USB, eliminating the need for costly USB extenders. The device converts AVoIP signals, such as NDI/NDI HX and RTSP, into USB and HDMI outputs, simplifying integration with USB peripherals and video conferencing equipment. By leveraging IP-based communication, the IP2USB provides high-quality, low-latency video and audio streaming to laptops or CODEC systems, ensuring seamless connectivity in professional AV setups.

For environments with multiple cameras, the IP2USB can aggregate the signals from each camera, routing them over a single Ethernet connection to your laptop or codec system. This allows users to connect sophisticated cameras directly to their USB-enabled video conferencing hardware or software, without the need for additional infrastructure. The device also supports PTZ controls making it an ideal choice for dynamic, multi-camera setups.

In addition to video, the IP2USB offers full audio integration, with support for both UAC audio I/O over USB and HDMI audio output. This allows users to easily route audio from USB peripherals to HDMI sinks or USB-connected systems. With its flexible IP, USB, and RS-232 control options, the IP2USB is a versatile solution that simplifies pro-AV setups while providing reliable, professional-grade performance.

Dante audio integration with IP2USB

The IP2USB supports Dante audio, offering seamless, bidirectional audio over IP. This integration allows easy routing and flexible audio handling for professional AV systems.

• Dual configuration options:
  • 2x2 Audio interface
  • 1x1 Speakerphone mode
• Flexible Dante routing:
  • Signals can be routed via the Dante Controller, which is familiar to integrators who use Dante for networked audio.
  • Transmit 2x In and 2x OutDante audio channels to the USB interface in sync with video signals.

More about Dante capabilities

With Dante, the IP2USB integrates audio over a single network, eliminating the need for traditional DSP (Digital Signal Processing). This makes the setup simpler, faster, and improves efficiency, as the Dante Controller handles all routing. This setup is ideal for users already familiar with Dante in their AV workflows, offering both flexibility and reliability in networked audio integration.
