The NETGEAR AV Line M4250 Series was developed in collaboration with professional AV specialists to address the specific requirements of audio and video over IP environments. Rather than adapting traditional IT switches, the AV Line range was purpose-built to support reliable, high-performance AV distribution, combining tailored hardware, simplified configuration, and dedicated AV-focused support. Key features of the NETGEAR AV Line include:
Flexible port configurations – Models are available with between 8 and 48 ports, supporting a range of PoE+ and PoE++ power levels suitable for different AV devices, including high-power endpoints such as encoders, decoders, and cameras.
Scalable uplink options – Uplink choices include standard 1G connections for audio-focused deployments, as well as higher-capacity 10G uplinks designed to support larger or more bandwidth-intensive video systems.
Support for multi-gigabit and fibre connectivity – Selected models offer multi-gigabit Ethernet and high-speed fibre interfaces, enabling straightforward aggregation and expansion within structured AV network topologies.
Ready for AV deployment out of the box – Pre-configured AV profiles allow encoders and decoders to be connected with minimal manual setup, significantly reducing commissioning time and deployment complexity.
Built-in audio protocol profiles – Native support is provided for widely used professional audio standards, including Dante, Q-SYS, AES67, and AVB.
Broad compatibility with video platforms – The AV Line includes pre-defined settings optimised for commonly deployed video technologies such as NDI, SDVoE, and leading AV-over-IP ecosystems used across enterprise and control room environments.
