About AVPro Edge MXNet (1G)

AVPro Edge MXNet (1G) is a proprietary AV-over-IP platform for distributing 4K60 4:4:4 over standard 1 GbE networks.

MXNet 1G is AVPro’s entry into network video, using its own codec to carry full-colour 4K within a single 1 GbE stream. It targets residential and light commercial matrix switching.

The bitrate is the raw signal divided by the codec ratio (≈10:1 here). A 1080p30 4:4:4 source is about 1.49 Gbps raw and roughly 149 Mbps compressed, so one 1 GbE link carries multiple encoders.

Worked example

A 1080p30 4:2:0 signal is 746.5 Mbps raw; MXNet 1G compresses it about 10:1, so the stream is about 74.6 Mbps.

Frequently asked questions

Is MXNet 1G proprietary?

Yes, the codec is AVPro’s own, so MXNet 1G interoperates within the AVPro ecosystem.

Does MXNet 1G run on 1 GbE?

Yes — standard managed 1 GbE switches, no special AV network required.

MXNet 1G vs 10G?

1G uses a higher compression ratio on 1 GbE; the 10G line (SDVoE-based) trades more bandwidth for near-lossless quality.

What is the difference between raw and stream bitrate?

Raw is the uncompressed signal (width × height × frame rate × bits per pixel); stream is what the codec actually puts on the wire after compression. The compression ratio is raw ÷ stream.

What do 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 mean?

They describe chroma subsampling — how much colour detail is kept relative to brightness. 4:4:4 keeps full colour (3× bit depth per pixel), 4:2:2 keeps two-thirds, and 4:2:0 keeps half (1.5×).
