Overhaul to Hub of Transportation Services

The Traffic Operations Center (TOC) in Salt Lake City has undergone a significant upgrade, thanks to the AVPro Edge MXnet 1G. This networked AV-over-IP (audio-visual over Internet Protocol) extender and matrix switcher has played a crucial role in enhancing the primary display capabilities of the center.

The MXnet 1G is designed to manage and distribute multiple video sources, such as traffic cameras, control room feeds, and other monitoring systems, across various screens with minimal latency. In the context of the TOC's upgrade, the MXnet 1G facilitates seamless switching and distribution of real-time traffic information and surveillance feeds to large video walls and operator consoles.

This improved visualization capability allows operators to monitor traffic conditions more effectively, make faster decisions, and coordinate responses to incidents or congestion with greater situational awareness. By increasing the efficiency and responsiveness of traffic management efforts, the MXnet 1G contributes significantly to Utah highway safety. Faster incident detection, better traffic flow management, and more coordinated emergency responses ultimately reduce accidents, delays, and hazards on Utah's roadways.

The MXnet 1G is compatible with popular remote monitoring software like OvrC, allowing the TOC to efficiently manage and monitor its extensive network of over 1,700 traffic cameras. The device's low power consumption of less than 5 watts and strategic heat extraction and dispersal design ensure that it runs cool, making it an energy-efficient and reliable solution for the TOC.

The TOC transformation involved a collaboration between AVPro Edge, TVS Pro, and Dalton Parker. Both TVS Pro and AVPro Edge prioritize a customer-centric philosophy, open communication, and customized solutions, as demonstrated by the trouble-free operation of the UDOT Traffic Operations Center for over nine months. TVS Pro offers a hassle-free, 10-year warranty and award-winning tech support, further emphasizing their commitment to excellence.

Moreover, AVPro Edge leverages customer feedback to refine existing products and bring high-value, leading-edge solutions to market. The MXnet 1G, for instance, stabilizes video system operation through gen-locking and syncing all decoders to a source, ensuring a smooth and reliable video distribution experience.

In conclusion, the AVPro Edge MXnet 1G has proven to be an invaluable tool in upgrading the Traffic Operations Center in Salt Lake City. Its ability to manage and distribute high-quality video content with minimal latency, combined with its compatibility with popular remote monitoring software and energy-efficient design, makes it an ideal solution for large-scale video distribution and control systems.
