CYP's AV Solutions for Seamless Integration
Trade shows can feel like a blur of buzzwords, but every so often, you see a roadmap that actually reduces friction. This conversation with CYP puts a clear stake in the ground: audio and video are moving deeper into IP, and the gear has to match how integrators really work. We start with a Dante microphone system that accepts the chaos of conference rooms and turns it into a controllable signal flow. The AU DTM1 arrives in wall, tabletop, and Euro module formats with built‑in Dante, mic input, and headphone out, so you can drop endpoints exactly where voices live instead of fighting a single far‑field pickup. That shift sounds simple, but it unlocks consistent clarity, scalable layouts, and clean routing inside Dante Controller with no special tricks.
From there, the focus turns to mobility and practicality. A bus‑powered USB‑C interface that provides two Dante channels (in and out) on any laptop solves a perennial headache: guest devices and rotating teams. Rather than buying virtual soundcard licenses for every machine, techs carry one tiny interface and get predictable I/O on demand. The same design thinking guides a palm‑sized PoE Dante amplifier. With Plus power, you get modest wattage for soft background audio; with Plus Plus or a local PSU, you step up the output for medium rooms. It sits above ceilings, close to speakers, and is fed by a single network cable, eliminating long analogue runs that degrade signal and increase labour costs. Add a keypad that can trigger multilingual audio or route Bluetooth and analogue sources into Dante, and museums, galleries, and campuses gain simple, tactile control without a full control processor.
Video joins the network story with an eARC extractor that takes TV audio and publishes it to Dante. Even in stereo, it cleanly bridges modern displays with distributed audio systems; higher‑channel versions will meet immersive needs later. The heart of routing is a Dante 8x8 audio matrix: dual Dante ports for 16 channels, PoE, and a local matrix in software. Decode 7.1 from an AVR, fold it into the Dante domain, and send returns to amps or preamps without external glue. Where coverage scales up, a 60‑watt Dante amplifier offers mic and aux inputs plus 70/100V support for malls, offices, and paging systems—classic commercial audio, now discoverable and manageable across the network. Together, these pieces form a modular ecosystem that trades black boxes for composable nodes, shrinking racks while expanding possibilities.
CYP’s AV-over-IP line rounds out the picture. The IP7000 and IP9000 support 4K over one-gigabit networks, while the STBoe 10G tier adds bandwidth for premium quality and ultra‑low latency. New small‑form endpoints focus on video‑only scenarios where control is handled elsewhere, cutting cost and power draw while keeping multiview and picture‑in‑picture features. Fibre options stretch up to 30 kilometres, making stadiums, arenas, campuses, and multi‑building sites feel local. A USB‑C encoder and a slick wall‑plate variant pull clean video from laptops without dongle roulette, and compact splitters drive multiple 4K displays from a single USB‑C port—ideal for desks, huddle spaces, and signage where reliability beats showmanship. For troubleshooting, an 8K pattern generator and analyser quickly expose EDID, HDCP, and cable faults, shortening site time and restoring confidence.
Control ties it all together. IP keypads with rotary encoders and e‑paper legends send direct network commands to AV endpoints, lighting, or automation hardware. No central controller is required, which lowers cost and simplifies programming. Legacy converters and proven HDMI cables remain in the mix because old problems don’t vanish just because new gear ships; they bridge formats, stabilise handshakes, and keep mixed‑age systems working. The throughline across everything is pragmatic engineering: shrink the box, simplify the setup, embrace IP, and give installers tools that solve the most common pain points. Whether you’re wiring a boardroom or a stadium, consistency and control over the network beat bespoke fixes, and this lineup pushes that vision forward in practical, deployable steps.
