Is your AV management ready for what’s next?
Managing large-scale AV networks can be a complex and time-consuming task, especially as organizations grow and their technology needs evolve. Traditional systems often require specialized expertise and hands-on troubleshooting, resulting in longer setup times and increased operational costs. That’s why Kramer has developed innovative management platforms, such as the AVoIP Manager, KDS-7 Manager and ZyPer Management Platform, to simplify the deployment, configuration, and ongoing control of your AV systems.
The Challenge of Modern AV Management
As AV networks expand to include multiple video sources, displays, and interactive devices, the need for centralized, intuitive management becomes paramount. Many organizations struggle with disparate systems that make it difficult to monitor performance, quickly adapt to changing needs, or troubleshoot issues in real time.
Different deployments have different needs—some organizations require an entirely on-premises solution due to strict IT policies, ensuring full control within their network. Others demand remote access for centralized management across multiple sites, making cloud-based solutions essential.
Kramer provides both on-premises and cloud-based management platforms, allowing customers to choose the right approach based on their unique requirements.
By adopting the right AVoIP management platform, businesses can ensure a reliable, scalable, and future-proof AV infrastructure that aligns with their operational and security needs. With Kramer’s AVoIP management solutions, the complexity is dramatically reduced, allowing IT departments and AV professionals to focus on enhancing user experience rather than grappling with technical hurdles.
Streamlined Deployment
Kramer’s AVoIP Management platforms redefine simplicity in deploying and managing complex AV-over-IP networks. Designed for seamless integration into existing IP infrastructures, the platform minimizes the need for specialized AV expertise. Powerful yet intuitive, AVoIP Manager enables rapid device discovery, bulk configuration, and one-click signal routing—dramatically reducing setup time and accelerating project timelines.
Advanced features such as Video Wall setup, Multiviewer layout design, and KVM configurations are accessible through easy-to-use editors, allowing even sophisticated applications to be configured in minutes, not hours. Whether deploying a single meeting room or managing a large-scale campus network, Kramer’s AVoIP Management system empowers integrators and IT teams to scale effortlessly, without the burden of a steep learning curve.
Intuitive Control and Monitoring
Kramer’s Management platforms offer more than easy control— they provide a powerful platform for complete system orchestration. Through centralized, intuitive dashboards, users can monitor system health in real time, route video streams, configure Video Walls, Multiviewers, and KVM sessions—all with clear visual feedback, bulk actions, and automated system alerts to ensure operational continuity.
Critically, AVoIP Manager features a robust, fully-documented open API, enabling seamless integration with Kramer Control or other 3rd party control platforms. Integrators and IT teams can leverage API endpoints to automate device discovery, manage routing, monitor system statuses, trigger presets, and develop custom workflows tailored to unique operational requirements.
With AVoIP Manager, daily operations become more efficient, system flexibility increases, and advanced automation becomes a natural extension of your AV-over-IP network, whether you manage a single site or an enterprise-wide infrastructure.
Scalability for Growing Demands
Modern organizations require AV systems that can grow alongside them. Kramer’s management solutions are built with scalability in mind, supporting everything from small installations to large-scale enterprise environments. The platforms are designed to handle increasing numbers of devices and video sources without sacrificing performance. As your network expands, you can easily add new components and adjust configurations on the fly, ensuring that your AV infrastructure remains robust and adaptable to changing demands.
Codec-Agnostic Management for Maximum Flexibility
Kramer offers an extensive range of AVoIP technologies, covering high-bandwidth, low-latency solutions as well as scalable compressed video distribution. To simplify operations, our management platforms are Codec-agnostic, ensuring seamless control over diverse AVoIP environments regardless of the underlying technology. This flexibility empowers IT and AV teams to deploy, monitor, and scale their AV networks effortlessly while reducing complexity and operational overhead.
Enhanced Security and IT Integration
In today’s digital landscape, security is a top priority. Kramer’s AVoIP Manager and KDS-7 manager, along with ZeeVee’s ZyPer Management Platform, incorporate IT-grade security measures to protect your AV infrastructure against potential threats. By using standardized protocols and secure access controls, our solutions ensure that only authorized personnel can manage and modify system settings. This IT-friendly approach not only safeguards your investment but also allows for smoother integration with existing IT systems, enabling a unified management strategy across your organization.
Real-World Impact
Imagine an educational institution where the IT department can effortlessly manage a network of digital displays and interactive learning stations, ensuring that all systems operate flawlessly during peak hours. Or consider a corporate environment where command centers rely on centralized control to seamlessly switch between multiple video feeds during critical operations. Kramer’s AVoIP Manager empowers organizations to overcome these challenges, streamlining processes, enhancing security, and ultimately delivering a superior audiovisual experience.
Kramer’s management platforms are more than just tools—they are enablers of a more connected, efficient, and agile AV environment. By simplifying the complexities of AV deployment and control, our AVoIP Manager, KDS-7 Manager and ZyPer Management Platform pave the way for a smoother, more productive AV experience.
