The Visionary XB5 AV-over-IP Conferencing Bridge is a next-generation USB-C to AV-over-IP bridge engineered for Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) environments. Designed to simplify BYOD conferencing and hybrid collaboration, the XB5 connects a user’s laptop to an enterprise network-based AV system with a single USB-C cable — carrying video, audio, Ethernet, and power through one plug-and-play connection.
Built for modern conference rooms, classrooms, and huddle spaces, the XB5 seamlessly integrates BYOD USB-C devices into Visionary’s 5-Series PacketAV® network ecosystem, transforming personal laptops into fully functional endpoints within a professional UCC workflow. With 4K60 4:4:4 video, high-definition audio, and up to 100 W of USB-C charging, the XB5 provides a direct, wired link that eliminates reliance on Wi-Fi, ensuring consistent connectivity and predictable performance for critical conferencing and collaboration sessions.
The XB5 supports UVC (USB Video Class) and UAC (USB Audio Class) standards for native compatibility with Windows®, macOS®, and ChromeOS™ — no drivers or software required. It enables immediate interoperability with leading UCC platforms such as Microsoft Teams®, Zoom®, Google Meet®, Webex®, and others, allowing users to join meetings instantly while leveraging the room’s networked AV resources. When connected, the XB5 bridges the user’s device to Dante® and AES67-enabled microphones, loudspeakers, DSPs, and displays, allowing full control and use of high-performance AV hardware during any soft-codec session.
Engineered on Visionary’s ultra-low-latency, visually lossless streaming architecture, the XB5 delivers real-time responsiveness and pristine media quality across standard Gigabit networks. Its fanless, PoE+ powered design simplifies deployment and ensures silent operation in acoustically sensitive environments, while an optional external power adapter supports full 100 W USB-C charging when higher device power delivery is needed.
By combining single-cable simplicity, AV-over-IP performance, and UCC platform interoperability, the Visionary XB5 redefines how organizations enable unified communications in high-value meeting spaces. The XB5 brings together the convenience of USB-C connectivity, the reliability of wired networking, and the scalability of IP-based AV – empowering effortless, high-quality collaboration across today’s enterprise environments.
