Netvio Utility Driver
By: Daniel Richer
Updated: Dec. 24, 2025
Version: 1.2
This driver is a Utility Driver only for Netvio Video Products for switching control please refer the Netvios website.
I wrote this driver as the video/audio switching driver does not include the ability to send CEC, IR or RS232 commands through the Netvio devices and a large project required this.
The driver provides the ability to store up to 20 IR and 20 RS232 presets to be able to send through the Netvio HDBT Matrix or AV Over IP system.
AV Over IP system supports up to 128 Inputs and 128 Outputs.
Control includes:
- IR transmission (to connected endpoints)
- RS-232 passthrough (ASCII or Hex with terminators)
- CEC control (on supported HDMI outputs)
