High-Capacity AV-over-IP Networking with 100G/40G Ports
The NETGEAR M4500-32C is a powerful networking solution for large-scale AV-over-IP environments, offering 32 QSFP28 ports that support both 100G and 40G connections. This high-bandwidth capability ensures smooth and reliable transmission of high-definition video and audio across extensive AV networks. Whether you're managing 4K/8K video streams or multi-channel audio systems, the M4500-32C provides the bandwidth required for real-time AV applications in venues like stadiums, corporate environments, or convention centers.
Optimized for AV-over-IP Deployments
As part of NETGEAR’s AV Line series, the M4500-32C is designed specifically for AV-over-IP workflows. The switch supports industry-standard AV-over-IP protocols such as Dante, NVX, Q-SYS, and others, ensuring seamless integration into existing AV systems. This makes it ideal for AV professionals and system integrators who need a reliable switch capable of handling demanding AV signals across a variety of environments.
Zero-Touch Multicast with IGMP Plus
The M4500-32C features NETGEAR’s IGMP Plus technology, which simplifies multicast traffic management by enabling automatic multicast routing. This zero-touch setup is especially beneficial for AV integrators, as it reduces configuration complexity and shortens installation time. IGMP Plus makes the switch ready for AV traffic right out of the box, ensuring smooth, latency-free signal transmission across AV networks without requiring manual multicast settings.
Ultra-Low Latency and Non-Blocking Performance
Designed for real-time AV applications, the M4500-32C delivers ultra-low latency and non-blocking performance across all ports. This ensures that video and audio streams are transmitted with minimal delay, making it ideal for live broadcasts, large event productions, or any AV installation where performance and timing are critical. The switch’s line-rate architecture ensures full-speed throughput, even under heavy traffic loads.
Redundancy and Reliability for Mission-Critical AV Systems
The switch features hot-swappable, redundant power supplies and fans, ensuring that the network remains operational even in the event of a hardware failure. This level of redundancy is essential for mission-critical AV environments such as live events or broadcast facilities, where downtime is unacceptable. With these redundancy features, the M4500-32C provides peace of mind in high-stakes applications.
Advanced Layer 2/Layer 3 Switching and Routing
In addition to its AV-specific features, the M4500-32C offers comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching and routing capabilities. This includes VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS) settings, and advanced routing protocols such as OSPF and BGP, allowing users to manage network traffic efficiently and ensure that AV streams receive the necessary priority for smooth performance. These features make the switch versatile enough to handle complex enterprise networks while maintaining AV signal integrity.
Flexible Management with Web and CLI Interfaces
For easy setup and control, the NETGEAR M4500-32C provides a user-friendly web-based management interface, enabling AV integrators and network administrators to configure and monitor the switch remotely. Advanced users can take advantage of the command-line interface (CLI) for more granular control over network settings. This dual management approach ensures that the switch can be managed by both AV professionals and IT administrators, regardless of their technical expertise.
Scalable, Future-Proof Design
As AV-over-IP networks grow in size and complexity, the M4500-32C is built to scale with them. With its 100G/40G capabilities, the switch is ready for future AV demands, supporting high-resolution video formats and large-scale AV deployments. The switch can also be stacked with other NETGEAR M4500 units to increase capacity, making it a future-proof investment for organizations looking to expand their AV infrastructure.
Ideal for Large Venues and AV Installations
The NETGEAR M4500-32C is ideal for large venues such as sports arenas, theaters, corporate campuses, and convention centers, where high-performance AV networks are required. Its robust features, including zero-touch multicast, low-latency performance, and advanced routing, make it a trusted choice for AV integrators and IT professionals deploying complex AV-over-IP systems.
