Netgear Announces Three New AV-over-IP Products

Netgear announced three new AV-over-IP products including the new Netgear Engage Controller application, which builds on the AV graphical user interface (GUI) found in the M4250 series managed switches and two new, smaller M4250 desktop switches to allow for streamlined installation in a range of space-limiting applications.

The Netgear M4250 AV Line Series switches are unique in the industry with an AV-oriented GUI. The AV GUI provides a simple AV-friendly template-based approach to switch configurations. This streamlined workflow enables AV integrators and installers to dive right into projects with the confidence that all the network settings are correct for their AV application. This eliminates the steep learning curve and cumbersome setup normally associated with network switch configurations.

The new NETGEAR Engage Controller application extends this simple-to-use approach providing the same level of efficiency with comprehensive configuration of any M4250 or M4300 managed switches. With only a few clicks, users can configure these robust switches for any AV-over-IP installation ranging from digital signage and wayfinding to entertainment venues, corporate conference rooms and lobbies, education, houses of worship and more. Available next month, this new standalone software solution will be a free Windows, Mac and Linux application users can use to set up and monitor NETGEAR’s powerful switches engineered for AV-over-IP.

Joining the new NETGEAR Engage Controller are two new additions to the M4250 portfolio — compact, desktop M4250 models. Since its launch, the M4250 AV Line of managed switches has redefined ProAV industry benchmarks, due to the AV-oriented design, unique AV GUI, and the same out-of-the-box functionality found on the popular M4300 and M4500 switches. From conference rooms to digital signage, the new M4250 desktop models are small enough to fit behind a monitor or under a conference room table allowing full functionality in a compact form factor with the horsepower needed for complicated installations.
