Client Background
A leading German automotive brand with 5 office locations across Europe (Berlin, Munich, Paris, Madrid, London) needed to unify their AV systems for global meetings, training sessions, and product launches. The client required a scalable solution to support 4K content streaming, low latency, and seamless integration with existing IP infrastructure.
Challenges
-
Traditional matrix switchers couldn’t support cross-site signal transmission, leading to fragmented communication.
-
The client needed to add 2 new locations in 2026, requiring a scalable solution without hardware overhauls.
-
Strict data security requirements (GDPR compliance) demanded encrypted signal transmission.
BeingHD Solution
We designed a custom AV over IP Solution using our HDMI over IP transmitters/receivers and IP Matrix Switcher, tailored to meet the client’s scalability and security needs:
-
Unified IP Network: Deployed SRT Gateway technology to encapsulate AV signals with TLS encryption, ensuring GDPR compliance and low latency (180ms) across European locations.
-
Scalable Architecture: Used a cloud-edge hybrid design to support 2 new locations without replacing core hardware — simply adding new endpoints to the existing IP network.
-
Centralized Control: Provided a web-based GUI to manage all AV signals across 5 sites, allowing admins to switch 4K content between meeting rooms, auditoriums, and video walls with a single click.
-
Redundancy: Integrated hot-swappable power modules and backup signal paths to ensure 99.9% uptime during critical product launches.
Results
-
Reduced AV infrastructure costs by 40% compared to replacing traditional matrix switchers at each location.
-
Enabled seamless 4K global meetings with 500+ participants, eliminating travel costs by €200,000 annually.
-
Scaled to 2 new locations in 3 weeks (vs. 3 months for traditional systems), supporting the client’s expansion goals.
-
Achieved 100% compliance with GDPR, with encrypted signals and automatic certificate revocation post-meeting.
