For AV solution industry, NETGEAR’s Pro AV over IP switches can prove to be a boon
With AV (audio video) applications rapidly growing, NETGEAR has further broadened its portfolio of Pro AV line of managed switches in the global market. By now, the company has got a wide set of Pro AV over IP switches including M4250, M4300, M4350, and M4500 Series of networking gears, which are specifically developed for addressing AV requirements.
These switches offer easy GUI-based configuration and whisper-quiet operation, ideal for production environments. With bandwidth requirements escalating for local networks and internet gateways, IP-based networks are increasingly integral for video production, communications, AR/VR applications, immersive 360-degree video, digital signage, and even the evolving metaverse. These switches support all major audio, video, and lighting protocols, including Dante, AES67, NDI, AMX, Q-SYS, SDVoE, and SMPTE ST 2110.
These switches feature the innovative NETGEAR AV OS, which replaces traditional IT-centric menus with an AV-friendly, template-based interface. This approach simplifies configuration, enabling Pro AV professionals to focus on their projects without the complexity of traditional network setup.
By leveraging NETGEAR and Intel technologies, builders of ST2110 networks can ensure smooth interoperability and time-sensitive networking capabilities, critical for applications requiring high-quality video for both human and AI analysis.
If M4350 Series of switches are talked of them these elevate the ease of use with enterprise-grade hardware that includes redundant power supplies, PoE capabilities up to 90W per port, ultra-quiet fans, and simplified management via the NETGEAR Engage Controller.
Available in fiber and copper models, the M4350 Series supports high-bandwidth ports ranging from 10G to 100G and ensures PTP synchronization for SMPTE ST 2110 compliance, making it a reliable choice for broadcast and live production environments. NETGEAR’s collaboration with Intel further enhances its AV solutions.
The Intel Media Transport Library, implemented on Intel E800 series NICs, provides high-throughput, low-latency, and reliable media transport while maintaining low compute overhead. By supporting SMPTE (society of motion picture and television engineers) ST 2110 standards, it ensures precise time synchronization and real-time media transport for live video production, industrial applications, and digital signage.
