How it Works
An AV over IP system with Just Add Power can be as creative and unique as you want it to be. Our feature set allows you to combine single displays and video walls for show‑stopping or practical installs and our AMP software makes it simple to set up.
Benefits
Build Excellence
Perfect synchronization
Distribute video across individual screens and video walls mounted throughout your room or facility. All of the screens playing the same source will be perfectly in sync.
Flexible system size
Any number of sources can be distributed to any number of screens, with distances up to 100 meters. Multi-Switch technology extends that range enabling scalable setups across expansive environments.
Easy setup
Simply plug an encoder into each source and a decoder into each display, connect all devices to the network switch, then run AMP and follow the prompts; AMP will discover and configure the Just Add Power devices.
01 Connect the Encoders
Connect each source to an HDMI encoder. The encoder encodes the signal, adds the source to the system, and forwards the stream to the network switch.
02 Connect the Decoders
Connect each display to an HDMI decoder. The decoder receives the stream from the network switch, decodes it, and delivers the properly formatted output to the display.
03 Gigabit Switch
A gigabit switch forwards encoded video streams from encoders to decoders. Use Cat5e or better for copper links; the MaxColor Series also supports fiber connectivity. Just Add Power works with trusted switch manufacturers and validated configurations to ensure reliable interoperability. Add extra switches to scale sources and displays without redesigning the network.
04 Control System
Just Add Power devices can be managed centrally using native, ready-to-install drivers that simplify integration and shorten commissioning time. An open API is available for custom workflows and advanced automation, letting teams tailor device behavior to their needs.
05 Configuration
Advanced Matrix Programmer (AMP) builds and configures your Just Add Power AV over IP system—provisioning encoders, decoders, and supported network switches. AMP includes built‑in system testing so installations finish in minutes instead of hours. It removes guesswork, speeds commissioning, and simplifies ongoing service.
