AV processing center with 16 x 8 analog I/O, 16 x 16 AES67 I/O, 4 x 1 + 1 seamless 4K 60 HDMI switching, USB‑C AV capture, USB 3.0 hub, advanced DSP with AEC, feedback suppression, automix, camera auto‑tracking and multi‑window video output
AVCore 16.8ae is a next-generation AV processing center designed to combine high-performance audio DSP, 4K video switching, USB-C AV capture, and centralized room management in a single, compact 19" rack-mount unit. It's not just a simple audio matrix with automix for conferences, but a fully automated audio/video control center, capable of managing shots, priorities, presets, and transitions intelligently and in sync with the loudspeaker.
As mentioned, the unit integrates advanced audio processing, seamless 4 x 1 + 1 HDMI switching, a USB 3.0 hub, USB Type-C AV capture, and a comprehensive set of DSP functions: HP/LP filters, EQ, AGC, compressors, feedback suppressors, limiters, delays, and multi-level automix. Thanks a total of 33 input channels (16 channels of AES67 + 16 channels of analog + 1 channel of USB soundcard) and 25 output channels (16 channels of AES67 + 8 channels of analog + 1 channel of USB soundcard), AVCore 16.8ae easily manages conference rooms. complex, integrating microphones, speakers, UC systems, and AV devices of all kinds.
Its true uniqueness lies in its automatic video direction: through programmable presets, the system can automatically frame the speaker, switch cameras based on audio automix priority, activate Picture-in-Picture when two people are speaking simultaneously, and independently manage video direction for local monitors and for those following the conference remotely (Zoom, Teams, etc.). The native integration between audio automix and video switching allows for extremely natural behavior: the speaker is framed, the speaker takes center stage, and the room manages itself!
The Windows-based DSP Controller software allows for complete system configuration: routing, editing of DSP modules, RS-232/RS-485 management, presets, custom panels, and advanced security. The 16 preset slots allow you to save complex configurations and recall them instantly. The most powerful feature is the custom UI, which allows integrators to create customized interfaces for technicians and end users, limiting access to authorized functions only.
With its extremely competitive price compared to high-end integrated AV solutions, AVCore 16.8ae is truly unique on the market, capable of offering intelligent, automated, and professional audio-video control in a single compact unit.
