Ubiquiti EAV-BRIDGE – UniFi Enterprise 4K60 Audio/Video Bridge
Overview
The Ubiquiti EAV-BRIDGE is a UniFi Enterprise Audio/Video Bridge designed to transport HDMI video and professional analog audio over an IP network. The device supports 4K video at 60 Hz and can operate as either a source or destination within an AV-over-IP deployment.
The bridge combines HDMI 2.0 connectivity with professional XLR audio interfaces, Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+ input, a compact aluminum enclosure, and flexible DIN rail, wall, or pole mounting. It is intended for managed AV distribution where network-based transport is used instead of dedicated point-to-point HDMI cabling.
Technical Information
EAV-BRIDGE provides one HDMI 2.0 input and one HDMI 2.0 output, both supporting 4K at 60 Hz. Supported video formats include 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 4K. Ubiquiti specifies 1-to-1 and 1-to-N signal distribution, including configurations supporting up to an 8 × 8 TV wall.
Audio connectivity includes two XLR female analog inputs with 6.35 mm analog combo inputs and 48V DC phantom-power support, together with two XLR male analog outputs. HDMI audio is also supported. The audio frequency response is specified at 20 Hz–20 kHz with ±0.5 dB tolerance.
Compatibility
The EAV-BRIDGE uses a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interface with PoE+ input for network connectivity and power. It is intended for deployment within UniFi AV-over-IP infrastructure and can function as either a transmitting source or receiving destination.
USB Type-C and 3.5 mm IR connectivity are provided as additional interfaces. Ubiquiti currently notes that USB and IR port configuration is coming in a future software update, so these interfaces should not be treated as fully configurable features unless supported by the applicable firmware.
Key Features
- 4K HDMI video transport at up to 60 Hz.
- HDMI 2.0 input and HDMI 2.0 output for source or destination operation.
- Professional XLR analog audio input and output with 48V phantom-power support.
- Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ input with Etherlighting.
- DIN rail, wall, and pole mounting options with included pole-mount support.
Applications
The EAV-BRIDGE can be deployed for distributed displays, professional AV systems, meeting rooms, digital signage, multi-display environments, and networked video walls. Its source-or-destination operation allows the same hardware platform to be used at either end of an AV distribution path.
DC Supplies Product Note
For network-based AV deployments, verify that the Ethernet infrastructure can provide the required PoE+ power and that the network is appropriately configured for the intended AV traffic. The bridge has a maximum power consumption of 14W and uses a single Gigabit Ethernet connection for network and PoE+ connectivity.
