Flexible 10G Connectivity for AV Environments
The NETGEAR M4300-24X24F AV Line Managed Switch offers a combination of 24 copper-based 10GBASE-T and 24 fiber-based SFP+ ports, providing exceptional flexibility in connecting both high-speed Ethernet and long-distance fiber optics. This makes it ideal for AV-over-IP applications requiring seamless connectivity for a variety of devices, including media servers, AV encoders, and decoders.
High-Performance Switching for AV-over-IP
Engineered for AV-over-IP deployments, the M4300-24X24F ensures smooth and reliable transmission of audio and video data. Its non-blocking architecture guarantees that all ports can run at full speed simultaneously, without congestion or packet loss. This is crucial in professional AV environments, where bandwidth demands are high, and any latency or jitter can disrupt the quality of live streams or broadcasts.
Multicast and AV-Specific Features
For AV networks, the switch supports essential features like IGMP Snooping and Multicast routing, ensuring efficient handling of multicast traffic across the network. This is vital for delivering synchronized video streams to multiple destinations without saturating the network. The M4300-24X24F is specifically designed to maintain low latency and high-quality transmission, even in complex AV systems.
Advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 Capabilities
The switch comes equipped with advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, offering sophisticated routing and switching options to optimize network performance. These features allow for more granular control over data traffic, enabling the M4300-24X24F to efficiently manage AV streams, prioritize critical traffic, and integrate seamlessly into larger, multi-switch networks.
Low Latency and Quiet Operation
AV environments, such as broadcasting studios, live event venues, and control rooms, often require both low latency and minimal background noise. The M4300-24X24F is built to handle real-time media streams with minimal latency and jitter, ensuring smooth playback. Its fanless or quiet cooling design makes it suitable for installation in noise-sensitive areas.
Simplified Deployment with AV Profiles
Setting up an AV-over-IP network can be complex, but the M4300-24X24F simplifies this with pre-configured AV profiles. These profiles are specifically tailored for AV professionals, helping reduce installation time and ensuring the switch is optimized for AV traffic right out of the box. Whether you're deploying in a corporate office, a live event space, or a broadcast studio, these profiles make the installation process more intuitive and efficient.
Modular Design for Scalability
The M4300-24X24F is part of the modular and stackable M4300 series, allowing you to easily expand your network as needs grow. With stacking support, you can combine multiple switches into a single, unified system, increasing the number of ports and expanding your AV-over-IP network without complicated reconfiguration.
Ideal Use Cases
The NETGEAR M4300-24X24F is perfect for a range of AV installations, including live events, broadcast studios, corporate AV, education facilities, and large-scale digital signage projects. Its versatile port options, AV-optimized features, and scalability make it an ideal choice for professionals seeking reliable and high-performance networking for AV environments.
