ROUTEBRIDGE
One plugin, every matrix — multi-brand video routing for Q-SYS.
AV Access
MuxLabModule Overview
RouteBridge unifies BV Factory's video routing drivers into one multi-brand plugin. Select the device model in Properties and the plugin becomes the right driver: AV Access 4KIP200 AV-over-IP systems, AV Access 4KMX44-H2 4x4 HDMI matrix, MuxLab 500444 (HDMI 4x4 4K/60), or MuxLab 500412 (HDMI 4x4 HDBT PoC). One instance drives one device or one AVoIP system; multi-device sites simply add instances — a single license per Core covers them all. Each driver is the proven protocol code from its source plugin, byte-identical on the wire. The 4KIP200 family brings the full AVoIP feature set: matrix routing with visual feedback, UDP auto-discovery, display power via CEC or RS232, video walls with rotation and cropping, OSD text overlays, RS232 pass-through, and per-device management. The matrix families deliver instant one-click routing on a 4x4 grid with status polling and reconnection handled for you. Control names are preserved verbatim from the source plugins, so existing designs, user scripts, snapshots, and control pins migrate without rewiring. The Telnet engines are built for permanent installations: command queuing with timeout protection, automatic reconnection, and fault-isolated error handling. Every control is exposed as a Q-SYS pin for UCI, GPIO, Show Controller, and ShowMind integration.
Core Features
- 4 Device Families — AV Access 4KIP200 (AV over IP), AV Access 4KMX44-H2 (4x4 matrix), MuxLab 500444 (HDMI 4x4 4K/60), MuxLab 500412 (HDMI 4x4 HDBT PoC). Pick the model in Properties.
- Matrix Routing — Route any source to any display with instant visual feedback, from the plugin panel, a UCI, or control pins.
- Auto-Discovery — 4KIP200 encoders and decoders are discovered via UDP broadcast and fill their slots automatically as units come online.
- Display Control — Power displays on/off via CEC or RS232 with per-decoder presets, plus custom CEC commands (4KIP200 family).
- Video Wall & OSD — Grid video walls with per-decoder position, rotation (0°/90°/180°/270°) and cropping, plus translucent OSD text overlays (4KIP200 family).
- Drop-In Migration — Control names preserved verbatim from AVAccessBridge and MuxBridge: existing scripts, snapshots, and pins keep working.
- One License, Unlimited Instances — A single Core license activates every instance and every device family on that Core.
- Built for 24/7 — Telnet engines with command queuing, timeout protection, automatic reconnection, and fault-isolated error handling.
