Lumens Digital Optics Inc. has announced interoperability with NETGEAR AV switches, enabling “easier deployment of AV devices over IP networks.” NETGEAR and Lumens have certified the M4250 and M4300 series switches to work with IP-connected Lumens products, including models that leverage NDI|HX, high bandwidth NDI and Dante AV-H standards.

Using NETGEAR Engage, which is built into the NETGEAR AV switches and offered as a stand-alone application, configuration profiles help integrators optimize switches for AV-over-IP. The installer selects the type of AV-over-IP and the applicable ports and the NETGEAR switch then automatically sets the optimal configuration parameters.

NETGEAR AV switches also support the Lumens products that require PoE, PoE+ and PoE++. This includes Lumens OIP encoders and camera systems that may be required to run 24/7. The switches also support the myriad of streaming formats, control protocols and secure transmission standards that are core to the Lumens IP ecosystem.
