NETGEAR MSM4214X-100EUS AV Line Managed 2.5GbE 12 Port Gigabit Switch

NETGEAR MSM4214X-100EUS AV Line Managed 2.5GbE 12 Port Gigabit Switch has been developed and engineered for audio/video professionals with dedicated service support.

AV codecs generally use 1Gbps or 10Gbps per stream and the AV Line of the M4250-12M2XF targets the widespread 1Gbps codecs.

This switch comes pre-configured for standard audio and video signals. When requirements are more specific, an AV user interface offers customization with port-based profiles.

For audio, Dante, Q-SYS and AES67 profiles are available, as well as an AVB profile (requires an AVB licence, sold separately).

For video, the M4250-12M2XF offers profiles for NVX, SVSI, Q-SYS, NDI, Dante, etc. as well as audio/video/control mixed profiles.

Key Features

• Twelve (12) 2.5GbE RJ45 ports for aggregation and LED tiles installations.

• Two (2) 10GbE SFP+ fibre uplinks.

• Ideal for multi-switch audio and video deployments.

• Fanless mode possible with max 25ºC ambient, 63ºC internal sensor and four (4) ports 2.5G used.

• Quiet mode acoustic noise 28.5dBA@25ºC when all ports used.

• 1U 100mm deep rackmount with front black display panel and all ports in the back.

• Possible reversed mounting with ports in the front including recessed mounting.

• Universal mounting options outside the rack with bottom M5 and front M10 threaded holes.

• Pre-configured for Audio and Video over IP out of the box.

NETGEAR IGMP Plus

NETGEAR IGMP Plus automatically multicasts across a M4250/M4300/M4500 L2 network (Spine and Leaf topologies), removing the need for L3 PIM routing.

• IGMP Plus is pre-configured on default VLAN 1 out of the box.

• IGMP Plus can be configured on another VLAN for automatic IGMP across switches on that VLAN (uplinks can make part of that VLAN in trunk mode).

• IGMP Plus allow AV-over-IP devices (TX/Encoders and RX/Decoders) to be connected across multiple switches in a star topology.

• The show igmp snooping group command in CLI and GUI displays the Source and Group IP addresses along with their corresponding MAC addresses that are learnt through IGMP Snooping in a given VLAN on a given interface.

Extended Features

• Dedicated AV web-based GUI interface for more specific AV installations

• Colour-based AV profiles can be applied to the different ports

• Dante, Q-SYS, AES67 and AVB audio profiles.

• AVB requires an AVB4212P-10000S licence (sold separately)

• NVX, SVSI, Q-SYS, NDI and Dante video profiles

• Audio / video / control mixed profiles

• Automatic switch interconnect with NETGEAR IGMP Plus

• Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching engine

• Built-in IT web GUI, console, telnet and SSH consistent with other NETGEAR M4xxx series

• Feature set includes static, RIP and PIM routing, DHCP Server and PTPv2

Support for Audio Video Bridging (AVB)

One of the many features designed into the M4250-12M2XF is full support for Audio Video Bridging (AVB), an industry standard for transporting content over a network.

AVB is used most often when very low latency is required such as in live performances when lip sync is critical. The M4250-12M2XF can be optionally licenced for AVB support (licence sold separately).
