True Single-Cable Collaboration Over 1Gb Networks
The GVN-HC-TX220AP is the next-generation transmitter in the Gemini GVN 1G AV-over-IP family. It introduces native USB-C connectivity with 100 W charging, Ethernet and audio over USB, and auto-switching between USB-C and HDMI inputs enabling true single-cable collaboration over existing 1 Gb networks. Ideal for retrofit installations, the system introduces an independent media layer, Dante audio compatibility, and robust scalability for large deployments.
Lightware’s Gemini GVN ecosystem offers a flexible and scalable AV-over-IP solution. The TX220AP supports 4K60 4:4:4 video, HDR, Dolby Vision, and high-bitrate audio formats. It is fully compatible with the GVN Matrix Management Unit (MMU) for centralized configuration and monitoring. The transmitter serves as a bridge between modern USB-C laptops and HDMI-based AV systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's new with the USB-C connection on the GVN-HC-TX220AP compared to previous models?
The GVN-HC-TX220AP introduces native USB-C connectivity so you can connect a modern laptop or compatible device with a single cable carrying video, audio, data, network (Ethernet), and power (up to 100 W PD). This BYOD setups and single-cable workflows much easier, eliminating the need for separate power bricks, adapters, or multiple cables.
What video, audio, and peripheral capabilities does GVN-HC-TX220AP support over USB-C?
Over USB-C you get: 4K60 video (via the system's full 4K60 4:4:4 over AV-over-IP), audio, data (USB 2.0 e.g. for peripherals, keyboards/mice via KVM, cameras, storage), Ethernet (100 Mbps), and 100 W power delivery. This means a connected laptop can drive the AV system, remain networked, charge simultaneously, AND control USB devices all via a single cable.
How does the new USB-C port improve the BYOD experience?
The integrated USB-C port allows guests or employees to connect their laptop with one cable and instantly access video output, system audio, touchback, USB peripherals, and network connectivity. Power delivery ensures the laptop charges during the meeting, preventing battery drain. This creates a frictionless "walk-in-and-present" experience ideal for conference rooms and training spaces.
