If you saw our Award Winning #PoELights at the InfoComm Show last week lighting the AVIXATV Live Studio and have questions about how they may help you save time and money when renovating or setting up a new Studio then our recent blog will give you some insight! POE LIGHTING: MAKING MEDIA PRODUCTION FASTER & MORE ACCESSIBLE In the ever-changing world of media production, efficiency and innovation are key drivers of success. Power Over Ethernet (PoE) technology, although not new, has become a cornerstone in modern media production environments. PoE eliminates the need for traditional electrical wiring, offering a streamlined solution for powering devices like LED lights and DMX lighting controllers, essential for creating the perfect visual setting. This blog post delves into the basics of PoE and its significant impact on the media production industry. What is PoE Lighting? PoE allows a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and, most notably, PoE enabled LED lights for media production. For a device to be PoE-compatible, it needs to meet the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard, which defines the method of safely transferring power alongside data on Ethernet cabling.
