SDVoE Alliance chose ISE 2019 to present the new switch with HDMI input and output modules plug directly into NETGEAR M4300-96X 10G Modular Managed Switches.<\/strong><\/p>\n At ISE 2019<\/strong><\/a> (stand 3-B150<\/strong>), the SDVoE Alliance<\/strong><\/a> presents the world\u2019s first implementation of HDMI<\/strong> connectivity within an Ethernet switch. HDMI<\/strong> input and output modules that plug directly into a NETGEAR M4300-96X 10G<\/a> Modular Managed Switch<\/strong> eliminate the need for standalone encoders and decoders to support in-rack video sources and destinations, simplifying design and installation and reducing overall system cost. With this introduction, IT and AV are combined at the integrated product level, rather than purely at the infrastructure level.<\/p>\n
\nTo take unnecessary complexity out of AV-over-IP deployments, NETGEAR<\/strong><\/a> created the SDVoE-ready M4300-96X<\/a> Modular Managed Switch<\/strong> that is preconfigured for easy, true AV and multicast Zero Touch network configuration. Users simply select the combination of HDMI, copper, PoE+<\/strong> and fiber port expansion cards<\/strong> that fit requirements, insert the cards, connect SDVoE<\/strong><\/a> encoders and decoders, and power on the switch. SDVoE<\/strong><\/a> systems with symmetric input-output configurations are supported such as 48×48, but asymmetric solutions such as 24×72<\/strong> are just as easily accommodated.
\n\u201cSDVoE<\/strong><\/a> is transforming the matrix with the introduction of an efficient Ethernet switch\u201d \u2013 commented Justin Kennington, president of SDVoE Alliance<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cThe last advantage for the traditional matrix switch was its ability to support native HDMI<\/strong> for in-rack sources. This new class of product, leveraging NETGEAR<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s unique modular Ethernet switch, eliminates any benefit to the old matrix switch. And now let\u2019s talk about density \u2013 48 to 96<\/strong> ports, with any mix of inputs and outputs in 2 RU<\/strong>. Your inflexible 32×32<\/strong> matrix is at least five times that size.\u201d<\/p>\n
